Session Types
Session Type | Session Time | Description |
---|---|---|
Convention Program | 60 minutes | Sessions on a specific topic or theme in which the subject can be explored in a 60 minute block and the presentation format is multi-modal. Examples of formats utilized in a convention programs can include, but are not limited to, lecture, panel, slide presentation, spoken word, art, film and musical performances. Utilizing creative delivery modalities is welcome and encouraged. To discuss creative delivery modalities further, please email [email protected]. |
Pre-Convention Workshops | 4 or 8 hours | Workshops meant for an in-depth discussion on current and emerging topics that transform higher education. 4-hour sessions will be Sunday afternoon (1-5pm) and Monday morning (8:30am-12:30pm). These 4-hour sessions can also be combined as one 8-hour session. |
Research Paper and Research-In-Process | 20 minutes of a 60 minute session | Research and Research-in-Process sessions are similar in that they are both formatted as a research paper. The same components are required for the proposal, but these vary in terms of detail based on the stage the research is in. Research papers need to be completed three weeks prior to the Convention. Research-in-Process papers can be at various stages of readiness, but data needs to be collected and analyses must be started at least three weeks prior to Convention. Both Research and Research-in Process sessions are 20 minutes long and will be paired with one additional presentation. Research sessions will have a discussant and Research-in-process sessions will have a scholar-mentor. See the Scholarship Sessions portion of the website for more details regarding the proposal guidelines and differences in these two program sessions. |
Multimodal | 20 or 40 minutes of a 60 minute session | Scholarship presentations in this area include performance, visual, digital, and other arts-based forms of knowledge creation and distribution. Multimodal presentations can include forms such as Zines, storytelling, poetry, documentary, photo-voice project, artifact presentation, or the presentation of research findings in another creative format. Multimodal sessions exist in two formats: (a) 20-minute long presentation in which two multimodal presentations are assigned to one session block, with time for audience feedback (60 minute session in total) and (b) 40 minute-long presentation in which one multimodal presentation is assigned to a session block, with time for audience feedback. Both formats are best suited for those requiring digital media, audio/visual, speakers, microphones, and performance. Additionally, both formats will include a chair to help organize the session. The chair will not provide feedback on the scholarship as in the Research and Research-in-Process sessions but will help engage the audience with the scholarship presented. |
Methods Workshop | 60 minutes | Methods workshops are 60 minutes long. These sessions allow members to present a project that uses compelling research methods and teaches others how to apply this method to their own work. Presentations in this format should be considered continuing professional development allowing members to build self-efficacy and capacity around creating scholarship and assessment tools to bring back to their campuses. |
Research & Practice Poster | Posters provide an opportunity for continued synchronous/asynchronous engagement with scholarship throughout the course of the Convention. Posters are placed on display during scheduled times of ACPA24 Convention with presentation times facilitated by the authors. |

Proposal Resources
The ACPA22 Program team is developing resources to assist as you prepare your educational session submission. These resources include a program proposal worksheet – a form one can build out a program proposal before entering it into the portal, the rubrics used to review program submissions, a how-to submit a proposal presentation, and sample proposals you can review while developing your proposal.
-
Education Session Rubric: This rubric will be used to review career snapshot sessions, convention program sessions, and pre-convention workshops.
-
Education Session Proposal Worksheet
-
The Program Team recommends utilizing this worksheet to prepare your proposal before starting the official proposal form. The online form will time out which could result in losing unsaved work.
