- Description
- Tutorials are formally prepared sessions at which instructors teach conference
participants specific usability or design skills. One-third to one-half
of each session must involve audience participation. Session sizes range
from 10 to 100 participants. For 2006, we invite new submissions, submissions
from previous years and encourage a variety of state-of-the-art topics.
- Duration
- Full-day or an evening session
- Benefits of Presenting
-
- UPA pays an honorarium to tutorial instructors based on the number
of registered participants:
Up to 30 registered participants - Base rate of $1,000 for one full-day
tutorial, $2,000 for a two-day tutorial, $500 for a half-day tutorial.
31 to 50 participants - Base rate plus $75 for each additional participant
in a full day, $37.50 for evening tutorials.
51 to 100 participants - Base rate plus $50 for each additional participant
in a full day tutorial, $25 for half-day tutorials.
When registration falls below a break-even point (which may be 5 to
10 participants), the tutorial is subject to cancellation by UPA.
- UPA provides printed copies of your tutorial booklet for participants.
- Preparing Your Submission
-
- All submissions must include a description with examples of presentation,
handout materials, and background information about the instructor(s)
(use templates below).
- Submissions must be 4-10 pages and include a representative example
of handouts, such as a 6-10 slides embedded in the proposal or a bullet-point
list with brief description of the content of the slides and handouts.
- The maximum file size for submissions is 3 MB.
For help in reducing file size, see Microsoft's Reduce
the Size of Your Power Point Files (opens in a new window).
- If there is a minimum number of participants needed for an effective
tutorial (perhaps a minimum needed to complete exercises), your submission
should indicate acceptable minimums, and we will monitor this and keep
you posted.
