Presenter Resources

Standard supplies include a 6-foot skirted table, up to 2 floor easels, and up to 2 foam core poster boards (30" x 40"). Push pins, scissors and other supplies will be available at a supply table nearby.

You may opt to bring a laptop as an additional resource for your session times. However, there will be no equipment security or storage available when you are not present.

All presenters will have wireless access. The connection speed should be sufficient for accessing and navigating web and/or e-mail pages.

If you need to ship materials, it would be best to send materials to your hotel (labeled to your attention). Please work directly with the hotel for shipping instructions.

The following session types were assigned through the proposal submission process and are designed to set participant expectations when they attend a session:

• Featured Sessions
  Featured session presenters are invited by ELI for their expertise on a variety of current topics.
• Preconference Seminars
  Preconference seminars will be held Monday, February 13, 8:00–11:00 a.m. CT, in Houston, TX. Participants pay an additional fee to attend preconference seminars. Each seminar presenter (maximum of two) will be provided with a full complimentary registration to the annual meeting. If you have questions, please contact Sean Kennedy.
• Interactive Presentations
  These sessions include 30 minutes of presentation time and 15 minutes for audience engagement/interaction, for a total of 45 minutes. Interactive presentations are opportunities to present in detail on a project while enabling audience participation.
• Short Presentation Pairs
  Presentation pairings include two 15-minute presentations followed by a 15-minute question/discussion period, for a total of 45 minutes. Presentation sessions will be paired by the ELI annual meeting program team, based on the track associated with the proposal. Highly visible, presentation pairs highlight pioneering practices by giving institutions a spotlighted venue with condensed presentation time. Please note these are NOT poster sessions.
• Hands-On Workshops 
  Workshops are 45-minute sessions where participants experience technology or pedagogical practices firsthand. Presenters guide a hands-on, tutorial-like experience using applications and resources. Participants are asked to bring mobile devices (e.g., smart phone, tablet, laptop) to the session in order to fully participate and to experience an emerging, innovative technology or practice.
  
  Proposals that include a robust interactive learning design will be assigned to the active learning space (designed by Steelcase Education). Workshop room sets include a hard drop Internet connection at the podium, sound patch, projector, and screen. Presenters are responsible for providing any additional technologies needed to ensure an engaging hands-on experience.
• Poster Sessions
  Posters give participants and presenters the opportunity to share and examine problems, issues, and solutions in a more casual, personal environment through informal, interactive, brief presentations focused on effective practices, research findings, or technical solutions.

As a presenter, you must register in order to present. Be sure to register by January 17 to get the early-bird rate.

EDUCAUSE provides an optional PowerPoint template for your convenience.
