There are four submission formats:
| Lightning talks | The title says it all.
Time: 5 minutes. |
| Presentations | These will normally take the form of a 15 minute presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions.
Time: 20 minutes. |
| Workshops and panels | These may follow a variety of formats. We are especially interested in innovative, interactive and creative session formats. Due to the high demand for sessions, we have to limit the number of workshop proposals to those who clearly demonstrate how participants will engage.
Time: 60 minutes (with optional extension to 90 min). |
| Posters | Posters will be displayed in the conference area and should clearly address one or more of the conference themes. |
The system (OCS) for making your submissions will be open later this month and a link will be added to https://oer17.oerconf.org/call-for-proposals/
We hope to see you in London in April 2017!
