The presentation can focus on effective pedagogical aspects or approaches you use to teach research methods or statistics courses. The presentation should cover: (i) why you have made these particular pedagogical decisions related to the topic and (ii) illustrate how they work in the context of the course. This format is best for presenting course-ready assignments or examples, pedagogical approaches or innovations that motivate students and support learning, and will likely include evidence of effectiveness and/or a connection to learning science/evidence based pedagogy.
Posters (60-min time in a shared virtual space, Gather, with a roaming audience):
-
During the poster session you will be using a virtual environment to share a static infographic or poster and interact with other conference attendees via live video and audio or text chat.
