Date Posted: 04:10:19 08/30/10 Mon What type of communication sessions are there in conferences? In conferences (a formal event where researchers present results, workshops, and other activities) the type of communication sessions are: Individual paper: presented by one or more authors within a twenty-minute period, with an additional ten minutes for discussion. Posters: according to Wikipedia, Poster” is the presentation of research information by an individual or representatives of research teams at a congress or conference with an academic or professional focus. The work is usually peer reviewed.” They are effective for presenting results of empirical research if data can be presented visually (e.g. charts, graphs, tables). A block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss their posters. Prospective presenters are encouraged to consider posters because of the opportunity they provide for inclusion of more presenters and topics in the program and for extended discussion with other researchers. http://www.aaal.org/Default.aspx?pageId=341259 Posters can be displayed for the length of the conference or for a single day. http://www.cgu.edu/pages/867.asp Colloquia: presented in three-hour blocks. Colloquium organizers may divide their time as they choose, but time should be allocated for opening and closing remarks, presentations, discussants (if included), and extended audience response. Colloquium organizers serve as the liaison between participants in the colloquium and the program committee, and are therefore responsible for communication among these participants. http://www.aaal.org/Default.aspx?pageId=341259 Panels: generally feature a sequence of 15-20 minute talks followed by discussion. roundtables: “a group of participants around a shared concern in order to generate discussion among the roundtable participants and with the audience. To this end, instead of delivering full-length papers, participants are asked to deliver short position statements in response to questions distributed in advance by the organizer, or they take turns responding to prompts from the moderator. The bulk of the session should be devoted to discussion. No paper titles are listed in the program, only the names of participants”. http://msa.press.jhu.edu/conferences/msa11/cfp.html Workshop: These sessions can vary in length from 90 minutes to one full day. Workshop presenters give short statements before involving the audience in some type of activity. http://www.cgu.edu/pages/867.asp [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
