We welcome everyone to submit a proposal to this conference. Please read the Home page and the Connectedness theme page before you submit a proposal to get a sense of the Festival’s purpose and spirit. We have many forms of “presenting” (i.e. multiple modalities, as we like to say on the 5th floor). This includes live (Zoom) presentations, pre-recorded asynchronous presentations and poster sessions, and passive, “wander-around-the-Exhibit-Hall” exhibits of content.

Who should consider presenting and why?

• Doctoral students in educational psychology who are required to present their second-year research as part of their seminar course.
• Any graduate student in educational psychology seeking an audience of educators for their research in progress.
• Faculty in educational psychology seeking to summarize their current research for a broad audience of educators, scholars, students, artists and combinations thereof.
• Artists (fine and performing) seeking to bring expressions and research that can inform or extend the learning sciences with notions of connectedness.
• Teachers (pre- and in-service) who are seeking to share findings, methods, online lessons that build connectedness between teaching and learning, whether it is in classrooms, asynchronous (a-sync) online, or in-sync online (e.g. live video conferencing via, say, Zoom).
• Program directors, principal investigators, student organizations, community organizations, etc. seeking to bring their services, missions, programs, etc. to the Festival’s Exhibit Hall for symbiotic juxtaposition with the learning sciences.

This is not a peer-reviewed event nor can we accept all submissions for inclusion in the Festival. The main limitation is our capacity of time, personnel, budget and infrastructure to facilitate every proposal. In that regard, our goal is to fill each presentation to the capacity we have for that type:

• EDPS Second Year Doctoral Student Presentations via Zoom
• Other Presentations via Zoom
• Digital Poster/Exhibit in Exhibit Hall (no Zoom)
• Digital Poster/Exhibit/Round Table with live Zoom during Exhibit Hall hours
• Program/Service “table” with live Zoom during Exhibit Hall hours

After that, we seek to have good representation from our target audience of students, faculty, and K12 educators.

The Festival is Wednesday, December 16, 2020. Proposals are due Friday, Dec. 11.

Once received, Festival organizers will let you know if we can accommodate your proposal. If we can’t offer you a time to present at the Festival, we can offer you a place at the table in the Exhibit Hall, where we minimally can put a summary of your work and a contact point.
