Conference Agenda

Five questions provided the organizational structure for online and on-site discussions and conference activities:

  1. What theories inform your work?
  2. What research methods inform your work?
  3. What research questions inform your work?
  4. What educational practices or experiences inform your research?
  5. What are the things you wish you knew to do your educational practice better?

Participants engaged in four phases of activities—creating, organizing, analyzing, and relating.

  • During day 1, participants engaged in the creation and organization phases. Leaders of the five groups presented summaries of the communications that took place in the online community before the conference. Then, working in five groups, individuals and groups put their ideas and reflections on sticky notes and posted them on poster boards labeled with each of the five conference threads.
  • During day 2, participants began the process of analyzing and relating the ideas by working in groups developing concept maps and creating reports describing themes found in the sticky-note data and as well as spotlighting distinct or individual voices.

Following is the agenda for the one and one-half day conference.
