ODCE expects that presenters in all conference venues will provide dynamic and provocative learning opportunities for attendees, be cognizant of adult learning preferences, address ADA and Section 508 Accessibility standards, and effectively model the utilization of learning technologies. Far too often conference sessions involve the overuse of presentation software. ODCE seeks conference sessions that are interactive and engage the participants. The presentation selection criteria strongly favor presentations that demonstrably engage participants.

Videotaping and Web Casting: Conference sessions may be videotaped or web cast
simultaneously and may be archived for later educational use.

Conference Attendance: All presenters must register for the conference and pay registration fees for the conference. Online registration will be available in December 2007.

Interactive Presentations: Conference sessions that are exclusively lecture are discouraged! The conference committee strongly encourages presenters to involve the participants to the extent appropriate for all presentations. Examples of session formats that facilitate participant engagement include panel presentations, discussion-based sessions, and presentations that include hands-on activities for participants.
