Papers - information for presenters

Your Presentation

All papers have been scheduled into the program, please check that you know when and where you should be presenting.

Presentation Advice

You should aim to speak for 15 minutes, allow 6 minutes for questions/discussion, and 2 minutes for the start and end swap over.

In preparing your presentation, remember that all delegates will have your abstract in printed form and your full paper on CD. Around 25% will also have a printed copy of the proceedings. Spoken presentations should present the content in a more visual form, try to avoid slides full of text which the presenter just reads out. If you wish to demonstrate software or a web-based application, you should also prepare a "back up" - screen shots of what would have happened, in case of technical gliches.

Finally, remember that we all come from different education systems and cultures, so explaining abbreviations and the context of your work is helpful. For example, explaining that K-12 in the US, and 5-14 in England are essentially the same, "faculty" is an individual in the US and a group of academic departments in the UK, etc.

Presentation Venue

There is a PDF file below for each of the rooms we are using for paper presentations, plus a plan of the whole site. Each session room will be equipped with a data projector and a laptop loaded with Windows XP & Office 2003, plus also have the provision for USB, CD & DVD. There is also a microphone, and a projection screen. There will also be wireless internet access on the podium computer in each session room. There is also a facility for presenters to plug in their own laptop / MAC. Additionally, the Balbeggie Room will also have an overhead projector.

Please visit your session room beforehand to make ensure you are familiar with the layout and projection system. At the latest you should visit in the break immediately before your presentation to load up any files and test them, and also to meet with the session chair and other presenters.
