Poster Sessions

This year's C&W Online conference offers the novel format of online poster sessions. Here's how they work:

The poster session presenter will prepare a room within the enCore Learning Environment (TTU's MOO), the host site for the Symposium. Within this room, the presenter will prepare a webpage (or two) with poster contents just like at a face-to-face conference. This poster might contain data from a research project or a description of an innovative teaching approach.

During the viewing times of the Symposium, attendees can visit various poster session rooms. Poster authors will be present during the viewing times. While in the room, attendees will be able to view the poster and talk with the author about the poster contents. It works remarkably like a face-to-face poster session at a conference.
