The work should not have been published elsewhere and should not be intended to be published elsewhere during the review period.

Graduate Research
Graduates are invited to submit papers describing their research. To be eligible, the work must be that of the graduate student and it is necessary for the paper to be produced to a publishable academic standard. Graduates’ supervisors may be co-authors, but the graduate student must be the lead author and must present the paper at the conference. Graduate research papers will be subject to the same criteria and processes as research papers.

Case Study Submission
Case study submissions should be written to publishable standards. Case studies will be subject to the same criteria and processes as research papers.

Non-Academic Contributions
The conference committee welcomes contributions from individuals and organizations working in the field. These contributions can take the form of a presentation or a demonstration. In the first instance, an abstract should be submitted describing the work to be presented. If the abstract is selected, you will be asked whether you wish to produce a paper or just give a presentation. You will need to register for the conference to have a confirmed timetabled slot.

Position Papers/ Work in Progress
Researchers are invited to submit current projects which are either at the proposal stage or are work in progress. In the first instance, you submit an extended abstract describing the project. If your abstract is selected, you will be given the choice of producing a short paper with a presentation or an extended abstract only with a presentation. If you opt for a paper, it should be a maximum of 2500 words including the abstract, keywords and references. The paper will be double-blind peer reviewed and if accepted, it will be published in the conference proceedings.

Faculty members are invited to share creative teaching and/or assessment methods used in their virtual classrooms. Submitted proposals will be shortlisted by an independent jury of teaching and learning experts before the conference, and participants will be asked to deliver a short presentation during this session. Presenters will have 10-15 minutes to demonstrate and discuss their innovative solutions to the audience.
