6. CONFERENCE SESSIONS

6.1 Oral Presentation Sessions

Each oral presentation session will be organized in the form of a symposium, which will have a Chairperson, four (4) presentations concerning a common topic of interest, and one symposium discussant. Each presenter will be given 10 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for the discussant, and a total of 20 minutes allocated for discussions. This session will provide an opportunity to present research on one topic from multiple perspectives, offering a coherent set of papers for discussion.

6.2 Interactive Poster Sessions

Dedicated poster sessions will be scheduled in the conference programme. Each poster presentation will include a graphic presentation of a research study on a visual display of size A0 (0.841m x 1.189m) in portrait format. A short oral presentation of 1 minute per poster will be given to an audience gathered as a group. After the authors’ brief presentation, an in-depth discussion between them and the audience will follow in the poster area. Poster sessions will be scheduled for 90 minutes, allowing for presentations and discussions.

6.3 Workshop Sessions

Workshops and Demonstrations will allow presenters to showcase, explain, and familiarize users with an innovative approach, a teaching or research tool, a teaching-learning sequence, or another aspect of e-learning for research or teaching. While a brief presentation of completed research may be included, the emphasis will be on demonstrating an innovation or tool. Workshops will prioritize learning-by-doing, with brief presentations. Sufficient time will be allocated for reflective discussion. Workshops will be scheduled for 90 minutes.
