60-minute interactive sessions
These 60-minute sessions provide an in-depth opportunity for delegates to interactively present and facilitate dialogue and discussion on a topic or issue related to the conference theme. For example, presenters could share highlights of research findings or explore how innovative approaches to assessment have supported student learning in their courses or field. Other ideas include sharing insights on how to design meaningful assessments that acknowledge the importance of student and instructor wellbeing, include student choice and voice, or use technology in creative ways. We also welcome sessions that explore how conventional methods and processes of grading, standardized testing and exams are being re-imagined.
All 60-minute interactive conference sessions will be offered on Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30.
