TYPES OF SESSIONS
Demonstration (45 minutes)
A demonstration is used for showing rather than telling about a technique. Presenter’s statement of theory should take no longer than five minutes. The presenter usually has handouts and may also use audio-visual aids. The summary should include a brief statement of the central purpose and description of the presentation.
Workshop (45 minutes or two 45 minute sessions back-to-back)
A workshop contains very little lecturing: the main emphasis is on participation in a carefully structured activity. The leader(s) work with the audience, helping them to solve a problem or develop a specific teaching or research technique. The workshop summary should include a statement of the goal(s), a synopsis of the theory, and a description of the tasks to be performed during the workshop.
Panel (45 minutes or two 45 minute sessions back-to-back)
A panel provides both formal presentation and participant discussion. Panels generally have 10-15 minute presentations by panel members under the guidance of a chairperson who moderates the discussion period and summarizes the session at its conclusion. The organizer should submit a summary outlining the topic and objectives.
Poster Session (45 minutes)
A poster session display allows for informal discussion between the participants and the presenter(s) during the time the exhibit is on display. The exhibit is presented on a large display board which includes a title, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the presenter(s), and a brief text with clearly labeled photos, drawings, graphs or charts. Dimensions of the display will be sent upon notification of acceptance.
