Forums

Forums are
one-hour sessions that form the core of the conference offerings.
Over 200 forums are scheduled over the three and a half days
of the conference. Forums are intended for audiences of approximately
50-75 attendees and typically include multiple presenters.
Some of the best forums provide perspectives from different
institutions or college divisions. Presenters are expected
to engage participants in meaningful learning experiences
using
a variety of interactive learning techniques, to provide handouts,
and to respond to follow-up requests for information.

Roundtable
discussions are one-hour sessions that offer personal and
interactive venues for the exploration of key issues in each
of the innovations
streams. Approximately 120 roundtables will be held over the
course of the conference. Roundtables accommodate up to 12
participants and are limited to
two presenters. They are particularly well-suited for exploring

Session Presentations

Poster Session
presentations provide the opportunity for participants to
make brief remarks, share information, and answer questions
about the presentation topic. Poster Session presentations
take the form of an exhibit and are delivered primarily through
the use of visual displays. Presenters must arrange for their
own display materials, including hardware, software, and AV
equipment. The conference will provide a table and two chairs
for each accepted Poster Session presentation. Please note:
Poster Session presentations are not provided with access
to electrical outlets unless arranged and paid for by the
presenter(s). Conference participants will be free to move
from one presentation to another during the Poster Session.
Presenters are encouraged to have ample handout materials
available for participants.

Learning
Center Courses

Learning Center
Courses are three-hour and six-hour workshops held in one-day
and multiday formats on some of the latest innovations being
used in
community colleges. These courses augment the conference program
by providing in-depth exposure to specific topics in each
of the seven conference
streams and by linking participants with a community of learners
who share common interests. Attendees receive continuing education
units (CEUs) for
completing Learning Center Courses and can expect to take
home a body of practical knowledge and applications. Selection
of Learning Center Courses is
very competitive (maximum of 10-12 are chosen) and is based
on the originality and usefulness of the proposed course and
the expertise of the presenters.
