Presentations

TCC offers various session types: Papers, General sessions, Poster sessions, and Student sessions.

Papers
A paper is a formal written presentation typical of those published in academic journals. Additionally, authors will be scheduled for an online session. For additional details and to download a template, see Papers.

Accepted papers will be published online in the TCC Online Conference Refereed Proceedings. Selected papers will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Educational Media and Technology (IJEMT), published in collaboration with the Japan Association for Educational Media Studies (JAEMS) and the Korean Association for Educational Information and Media (KAEIM).

General Sessions
A general session is an open forum, where ideas and perspectives are presented and discussed based on a proposal description. We encourage the use of any creative format since the online environment is emerging, and we expect to see new forms of communication styles and methods. For more info, see General sessions.

Poster Sessions
The Conference provides an opportunity to share and collaborate with participants in a less formal, highly interactive venue, by hosting virtual poster sessions on a virtual platform, Gather Town. The poster should be relevant to the conference theme, or a suggested conference topic. For details, see Poster sessions.

Student Sessions
A student session may be either a paper or a general session that is prepared and presented by a student, often under the guidance of a mentor or thesis adviser. Student presentations may be scheduled later in the day. Registration fees are waived for student presenters. For more info, see Student sessions.

Preparation
Prepare your proposal according to the requirements given for a particular presentation category. Additionally, you will need to provide your contact information.

Additionally, email your paper to Curtis Ho <curtis@hawaii.edu> and to copy to Bert Kimura <bert@hawaii.edu>.

Proposal Review
All proposals will be peer-reviewed and an acceptance determination made. You will be notified by email as soon as this determination is made.

If a paper is determined to be unacceptable for publication, the reviewers may suggest presenting a general session in lieu of publication in the conference proceedings. In this case, the conference coordinators will contact you to make arrangements.

Accepted titles and descriptions will be posted, as submitted, on the conference website.

Descriptions may be edited and reformatted to conform to the conference website design. You may be notified to review the posted material to ensure that the content is accurate and nothing has been omitted.

Communication
The primary author or proposal submitter will serve as the main contact with the chair of the respective peer review committee. All communications will be conducted by email. Please make certain that all email addresses are correctly written.

Conference Registration
All presenters must register for the conference and pay the registration fee. Student presentations are highly encouraged and thus, fees will be waived for student presenters enrolled full-time in accredited institutions while completing graduate or undergraduate degrees.

Presenter Photo & Bio
Prior to the conference, you will be asked to post a photo (head and shoulder photo) in jpg format along with a short written personal biography on the conference website. Include in the following order: your name, title, affiliation, email address, bio description.
