DML MAIN CONFERENCE
Thursday, October 5 and Friday, October 6, 2017
General Sessions will accept proposals in five different formats, tailored to the diverse forms of research, innovation, and activism of the DML community.
TEACH-INS (90 minute sessions): Hands-on sessions that engage participants in a workshop that includes small group engagement, making, or other interactive formats.
PANELS (60 minute sessions): A panel with multiple complementary presentations (3-6) from at least two different projects, presenting original research on or practical applications of digital media and learning. Proposals must include information about the full panel, including all presenters and presentation titles.
SPOTLIGHTS (30-minute sessions): Deep dives exploring an innovative project, real-world endeavor, or multi-pronged research effort. This format can include one or multiple presenters, but should be reserved for large-scale or sustained efforts that require in-depth treatment.
SINGLES: Singles proposals are for individual 8-10-minute individual presentations on a research study, design, or program. Selected single proposals will be grouped by the conference committee into a panel with complementary talks and time for discussion.
SHOWCASE: Tech innovators can apply to showcase their work to the DML community during the course of a festive evening reception. The tech showcase is an opportunity to engage directly with attendees through hands-on demos. We will provide a table, two chairs, access to power, and a table-top sign. You bring the rest! There is no exhibit charge for the tech showcase–we just ask that you register for the conference.
