- Description
- For this new format, the person who submits the proposal selects a session
theme, such as "Usability Facilitators" or "Best Practices
for Remote Evaluation," and organizes a group of five speakers who
will each present their unique perspective on the theme in 10 minutes or
less.
During the session, the proposal submitter serves as the moderator, which
entails introducing the session, acting as timekeeper for the 10-minute
talks, and engaging the audience in a discussion after all talks are complete.
In addition, the proposal submitter can chose to share their own "nuggets
of wisdom" during one of the five time slots.
The goals of the 10-minute talks are to:
- Provide easily digestible nuggets of practical advice or wisdom that
audience members will find memorable.
- Allows number of different points of view and topics in a single session.
- Provide a forum where speakers must eliminate all fluff (long introductions
for example) from the presentations and focus on key points
- Provide a forum for new presenters to hone their skills for lengthier
presentations at subsequent conferences.
- Duration
- 90 minutes total. Each speaker will have 10 minutes to present and 5
minutes for questions and discussion. The last 10-15 minutes of the session
are used for general questions.
