In-person Formats:
Lecture:
In 60-minute lecture presentations, authors present abbreviated versions of
their research papers, which is followed by feedback (if there is a discussant) and/or a discussion with
the audience. Presenters present in the order they appear in the program. Please plan to attend the
entire session for your time slot/room.
Typically, presenters create a multimedia presentation (e.g., Google slides, PowerPoint) to present their
studies (however, feel free to be creative). You will have a projector and the room should host 50-100
potential attendees (although typically audiences have varied from 15-50 attendees) but not a computer -
plan to bring your own computer and adapter to connect. It also helps if you coordinate use of
only one computer for the presentations to minimize transition time and potential technical issues (this
can be done by having your presentation ready on a flash drive or in the Cloud, like on Google slides).
Remember that many practicing educators will be attending your session. Make sure to engage them as
members of your audience and make connections from research to practice.
Roundtable: In 60-minute roundtable presentations, papers with similar research topics
are each assigned to present in the same room, consisting of multiple round tables. Authors will have
their own round table (which fits 10-15 participants) and the opportunity to engage participants in an
hour-long discussion of their work. Roundtables are intended to be more collaborative discussions about
research. No equipment is provided. Outlets may not be available. Attendees will have wireless internet
connectivity.
Virtual Formats: No virtual offering in this format.
Listing Presenters and Co-Authors
On your presenter portal, find the proposal you want to edit, click the CLICK TO VIEW/EDIT button, scroll
to the "Presenters" page and click the link to the right that reads "View/edit this section."
Presenters are typically listed in alphabetical order by last name, but research submitters can specify
the order of presenters or co-authors as you prefer to have them displayed in the conference program and
conference app. Primary presenters for in-person sessions must be physically present to moderate their
events and provide presentation laptop/tablet including connection for any remote co-presenters if
applicable. Please use the role “Presenter” for any authors/presenters who will be presenting in San
Antonio and list other authors as “Co-author” if they are not presenting.
