Case Study
Case study sessions will be approximately 20 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes Q&A.
All case study presenters will be invited to write a full case study for inclusion into the conference proceedings. Case studies typically identify an issue or problem, describe the curriculum solution or intervention, and report the results together with supporting evidence. The concluding section(s) consider next steps and suggest how others might adopt or adapt the experience. The overarching aim of the case study is for others to be able to understand, learn from, and build on the experiences of the author in their own context. A template will be provided for full case study submissions.
Ignite Presentation
Pecha Kucha, lightning, or 20/20 style presentations are becoming an increasing popular presentation format. They are less formal than a case study, though they do demand thoughtful preparation as presenters are required to tell their story in 20 slides each lasting exactly 20 seconds. These presentations are designed to be concise and fast-paced and aim to prompt further discussion afterwards.
Whilst the time to present is limited, this is compensated for by the opportunity to present to the entire conference audience. A dedicated facilitator will assist successful authors in the preparation and management of the presentations and posters.
Pearl Session
A Pearl Session involves a 3 minute presentation followed by a 15 minute activity. The 3 minute presentation is an opportunity to set the scene with a brief overview of a particular use of PebblePad or issue associated with use. The 15 minute activity needs to engage the full audience and must be interactive. These sessions will be delivered to the entire conference audience so the activity must be one that can be managed at scale with relatively little facilitation, for example, key questions for table groups to discuss, live polling, pair work, etc.
Panel Session
A Panel Session involves the facilitation of a small number of speakers on a key topic or question. Typically each speaker will deliver a very brief perspective and then there will be the opportunity for questions from the floor.

If none of the above are quite right and you have an idea for a different presentation style that would suit your story please let us know. We are open to considering any options.
