Proposals for Poster Sessions or Participant Idea Exchanges
| Recognition and Documentation |
|
Titles and authors of posters and participant idea exchange presentations will appear in the Institute program, as a permanent record of your contribution. Also, a record of your attendance and participation is maintained in the Institute office to assist you in documenting your professional career development. After the conference, we will provide a personal letter certifying your participation in the Institute, if you request it. |
All participants in the Institute are invited to submit
proposals for posters and/or participant idea exchanges for consideration by
the program committee. All proposals received by October 1, 2008 will be considered
for the program. Later proposals, from registered participants, will be considered
if space remains available. Submissions should be related to the teaching of
psychology. This includes, but is not limited to, teaching techniques, innovations,
evaluation, and philosophy. Each proposal should be typed (double spaced) and
include: a) whether it is being submitted as a poster presentation or a participant
idea exchange, b) the title, c) the author name(s), institution(s), and snail
mail and email address(es), and d) a summary of no more than 250 words. Graphs,
tables, and photographs need not be included. Proposals may be submitted with
registration forms by mail or fax, or by email to Doug Bernstein at douglas.bernstein@worldnet.att.net,
with a copy to the NITOP office, jfetzner@illinois.edu.
Proposals for participant idea exchanges should include the discussion questions
which will be raised during the session. Presenters at poster sessions and participant
idea exchanges will be notified promptly in writing regarding acceptance. Poster
presenters will also receive detailed guidelines about how to prepare their
materials for the conference (also see 
).
The lists of titles in the various poster and PIE sessions will be posted on
the 
page as soon as they are available. The title lists as well as schedules and
discussion questions for participant idea exchanges will be included in registration
materials on-site.
The poster sessions will be held at 3:45-5:15 pm on Saturday and 4:30-6:00 pm on Sunday and Monday. The participant idea exchanges will be held on Saturday from 1:00-2:15 pm and on Sunday and Monday from 3:15-4:30 pm.
If your proposal is for a participant idea exchange, you will be expected to make a short introductory presentation and lead the discussion among participants at your table. Handouts are encouraged.
The poster sessions and participant idea exchanges are designed to encourage and support direct involvement in the program by Institute participants. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to share your expertise and ideas with your colleagues.
