carousel. Students currently working on Dissertations and Projects are
invited to submit proposals (200 words maximum) for seminars, workshops or
learning sets, though joint contributions for seminars are welcomed and

expected to contribute to the carousel and are invited to submit proposals
for learning sets. Each form of contribution is outlined below: |
|
|
|
Seminars |
Each seminar will have 30
minutes for a paper presentation (15/20 mins.) and discussion (10/15 mins.) |
|
|
|
Workshops |
Each workshop will
be allocated 60 minutes for a paper presentation (15/20 minutes)
or alternative input, group activity and discussion (40/45
minutes). It envisaged that workshops will be supported by
papers. |

|
Carousel |
Each participant who is not
responsible for a seminar, workshop or learning set is expected to present
in an interactive way a display of their work in the form of a multimedia
presentation, poster display, a combination of these or any other
imaginative format. The target audience for this ‘presentation’ is a small
group consisting of 2-3 peers and/or staff. These will be displayed
throughout the conference with time allocated (25 mins) in a three round
carousel. |

Learning Sets |
Learning sets will be
facilitated around special interests of the participants. The conference
session (60 mins) is the start session of an online special interest group
within the Blackboard Community area (4 weeks). Each Learning Set will
involve an introduction of the subject, key resources and follow-up
discussion moderation by the proposer(s). |
