More Information About Scholarly Teaching Posters

Scholarly Teaching Posters allow presenters to share their innovative teaching ideas in a visual format without live interaction.  Poster presentations will include a one-page static visual display (created as a slide in PowerPoint or similar program and saved as a PDF) and a brief YouTube or Vimeo video (less than five minutes in duration) explaining the poster. If accepted, your poster and video will be due September 8 for acceptance to the program. 

Please anonymize the proposal text by removing any references to proposal authors or institutions to allow for blind review. 

The abstract (limit: 150 words) will be shared in the final program and should provide enough description to draw participants to your poster. 

In the poster description (limit: 300 words), please include any additional information for poster reviewers (for example, a description of how the work is grounded in reflective practice and/or prior literature, materials or resources that will be shared with poster participants, etc.). The poster description will not be included in the final program.

You may also choose to include a bibliography or reference list, which does not impact your word count.  

A panel of anonymous reviewers will review each proposal to provide recommendations to the conference chair. Reviewers will assess each Scholarly Teaching poster proposal based on the following questions:  

  • Does the proposal focus on a new or noteworthy teaching idea and/or student learning in higher education?  
  • Is the proposal grounded in scholarly reflective practice and/or the literature on teaching and learning? 
  • Does the proposal adequately explain how the idea might be adapted to multiple disciplines or settings?  
  • Is the proposal clearly articulated?
