Conference Themes
AISHE welcomes the submission of abstracts (NB: author account/login required) which address the key conference theme of The Challenge for Graduates in a Changed World and, within this, one or more of the following specific topics:
- Graduates for a Digital Age
- Students as Researchers
- The Student Citizen: Learning Through Work & Community Engagement
- Interdisciplinarity in Learning & Teaching
- Global Issues in Learning & Teaching
- Discipline Based Pedagogies
The emphasis should be on reflection and evaluation rather than merely on describing what is happening.
Presentation Format/Track
All accepted presentations at the conference will be assigned to one of two presentation formats or conference "tracks":
- Oral/workshop: Oral presentation of research, evaluation, policy or practice with the emphasis on drawing out lessons for others and involving participants in engaging with your findings.
- Poster: Posters will be displayed throughout the conference; there will be an assigned programme session specifically for participant discussion with poster presenters.
Abstract Submission
A proposal for presentation at the conference should be submitted in the form of an abstract only, not to exceed 300 words in length. Note: an author account/login is required in order to submit an abstract.
Refereeing Process
Each abstract will be peer-reviewed by the programme committee for acceptance at the conference against the following criteria:
- Relevance to the conference theme
- Clarity and coherence
- Reflection and evaluation of educational values, practice and or/policy
- Contribution to scholarship and evaluation of change in higher education
While authors can propose a preferred presentation format (or conference "track"), the programme committee reserves the right to (re-)assign submissions to either oral/workshop or poster presentation track, in the light of overall constraints on the programme schedule.
Publication of Proceedings (Online)
Authors of all accepted abstract submissions (regardless of presentation format/track) will be invited to prepare a full paper for inclusion in the (online) conference proceedings. The paper should be 3000-4000 words. Note that at least one of the authors must register for full conference attendence in order for the paper to be included in the conference programme and proceedings.
