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

• Discussion Circles
  Discussion Circles are interactive and discussion-based and begin to brainstorm solutions and share institutional approaches to key questions and issues. At each circle, a significant challenge relating to teaching and learning is discussed, and participants collectively explore approaches, solutions, and best practices. As facilitators, you will manage the discussion. Please note: These sessions are discussion based, with no presentations.
• Featured Sessions
  Featured session presenters are invited by ELI for their expertise on a variety of current topics.
• 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., smartphone, tablet, laptop) to the session in order to fully participate and to experience an emerging, innovative technology or practice.
  
  Hands-on workshops, by virtue of their robust interactive learning design, will have priority consideration for the active learning space (designed by Steelcase Education). Presenters are responsible for providing any additional technologies needed to ensure an engaging hands-on experience.
• 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.
• 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.
• Preconference Workshops
  Preconference workshops will be held Monday, January 29, 8:00–11:00 a.m. CT, in New Orleans, LA. Participants pay an additional fee to attend preconference workshops. Each workshop presenter (maximum of two) will be provided with a full complimentary registration to the annual meeting. If you have questions, please contact Sarah Reynolds.
• Short Presentation Pairs
  Presentation pairings include two 15-minute presentations (by different presenters) 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 proposal content. Highly visible, presentation pairs highlight pioneering practices by giving institutions a spotlighted venue with condensed presentation time. Please note these are not poster sessions.
