Forum participants will nurture existing networks and make new connections by engaging in one or more of the following Forum activities.
Keynote presentations
There will be a keynote on each of the four sub-themes of the forum, as well as the Asa Briggs Lecture.
Paper presentations
These are participant research papers, case studies, etc., that will be presented in parallel sessions.
Workshops
These are 60- or 120-minute sessions, where presenters demonstrate the findings of key research projects or guide the participants to develop specific skills in a step-by-step manner. These would be participant-proposed sessions which will be decided based on the relevance of the proposals to the forum theme and sub-themes.
Panel discussions
These are 60-minute sessions, where three to four experts make presentations facilitated by a moderator for questions and answers. Proposals are welcome from the participants, who will also take responsibility for identifying speakers.
Poster presentations
There will be one poster session, where all the forum posters will be displayed.
Exhibition
This is a space for paid exhibitors, who would present educational technology-related products and services to Forum participants.
Marketplace
This is a place for one-to-one conversation with Forum participants, where delegates can demonstrate and discuss their technology, OER or innovative services and practices.
