For Session Presenters

Use our Accessibility and Universal Design Checklist and our Making PowerPoints Accessible Resource to ensure your presentation is accessible for your entire audience.

To provide context for attendees in your session, you may want to:

• Describe your course (discipline, course topic, enrollment, etc.)
• Describe your pedagogical challenge, including why it matters and how you addressed it
• Show example materials (assignment sheets, de-identified student work, videos, etc.)
• Discuss your results, including student feedback and instructor reflection
• Consider how your approach might apply to courses in other disciplines and formats

Presentation or panel sessions are 45-minute sessions designed for 1-3 colleagues or a facilitated panel to share a class, department, or curricular strategy that advances student learning. The session should: 

• Describe the teaching and learning or college/department level strategy 
• Provide a rationale on what was done and why. 
• Explain how the strategy impacted student learning, what worked well, and future strategy enhancements. 
• Provide ways the strategy is broadly applicable in other courses, disciplines, and programs. 
• Plan for at least 15-20 minutes of the session to include interactive elements that engage attendees. This might include engaging the attendees using the strategy, discussing ways to apply the strategy in their own teaching, or soliciting extensions/applications of the strategy. 
• Facilitated Panel Discussions should involve a facilitator posing a series of questions on a pertinent teaching topic (at course, department, program, or college levels) to 3-6 panelists from different disciplines, programs, course formats, course sizes, and/or student populations. 

Micro Presentations must be submitted by or before Friday, January 2 2026.

Micro Presentation sessions are succinct 10-minute presentations that share a specific teaching technique, assignment, or practice that can be adapted to a variety of class topics and types. These sessions are designed to give attendees great ideas for teaching in simple, concise, small bites to inspire new practices or practice adaptations. Three Micro Session will be clustered together during the session first (30 minutes). Presenters are available at the end of the session to engage with attendees for a question-and-answer session (15 minutes). 

There are multiple methods for recording your presentation. In the end, you will need to provide an mp4 file for submission and upload (more information on where and how to upload will come soon). 

A staff member will be in the room keeping time to ensure that the micro presentations do not go over. Should you go over the 10-minute mark, they will stand up and signal to change to the next presenter.
