Formal Presentations
Formal presentations of a scholarly nature typically consist of 1-3 speakers (with possible additional non-speaking co-authors) and often distribute a paper or other materials about the topic. At least 10 minutes for audience questions should be allocated during or following the presentation.
Panel Discussions
Panel discussion sessions provide a venue for 2-3 speakers to share their work or perspective on a selected topic, with the majority of the session time used to facilitate discussion with the audience.
Roundtable Discussions
Roundtable discussion sessions include a facilitator who is knowledgeable on the topic and encourages active discussion among the participants during the session. The purposes for this session type may include brainstorming, sharing, and problem-solving. The results of the discussion are usually provided in some form as an outcome of the session.
Demonstrations
Demonstration sessions showcase innovative technologies, methods, pedagogies, etc. and provide time for audience questions. These sessions typically include appropriate background information and how the innovation is being used.
Hands-on Workshops
Hands-on workshop sessions are interactive, and should clarify the specific level of instruction and/or pre-existing skills for the audience as well as how they will participate and what they can expect to take from the session.
Sufficient participant materials should be available for the maximum number of participants allowed.
