Guidelines for submitting workshop presentation Abstracts

A ‘Paper’ is a presentation which may report on research, innovative programs or some other aspect of current practice. Audience participation will be minimal.

A ‘Workshop’ will actively involve participants through discussion or other responses to the material. Workshops should have practical application and will usually focus on a particular sector or need.

A ‘Product demonstration’ presents a learning resource, CD, DVD, publication, process or service, commercial or otherwise.

Abstracts due by Friday, May 16, 2008.

If your submitted Abstract is successful, you will be asked to submit a version for inclusion on the post-Conference website.

Acceptance of applications will be advised by Friday, May 23, 2008

The deadline for submission of final papers is Friday, June 27, 2008
