Information for Poster Presentations

Poster presentation will be held in the 1/F lobby of Lee Shau Kee Building on the Expo day.

  • A Poster is a display illustrating a project or a theory. There is a scheduled opportunity for the presenter to discuss the material with interested participants.
  • The accepted presenters will be given a notice board (140 cm in height and 90 cm in width) for them to present their teaching and learning ideas in a poster format. Wireless network is also available so that presenters can use their own notebook computers at the venue as well. To assist viewers in understanding your innovative ideas, you are highly recommended to bring along a handout of your full paper or abstract. Presenters are expected to be ready in front of their display during the lunch break. (Don't worry, we will bring lunch to you! You are most welcomed to discuss your ideas and work with interested folk when enjoying our meal!)

NOTES ON PREPARING POSTERS 

    1.  Designing your posters
      • Make sure you have information about the presentation topic, name of the author(s) and affiliation on the poster.
      • You can freely design how to use up the space of the notice board (display area size:140 cm in height and 90 cm in width) assigned to you. For example, you can put up one big poster, or you can decide to put up a number of smaller ones instead.
      • Using columns is a good idea. Then the presentation format can be presented in a number of columns, beginning at the left-hand side of the board.
      • A brief introduction, clear explanation of the project/ teaching and learning strategy, and evaluation results (if available) should be clearly displayed on the poster.
      • Focus on a few main points using clear and sufficient graphics.
      • Consider using outlines or dot points for the poster presentation.
      • Use a clear and large font size for easy viewing.
      • If your project is funded by a university/ external grant (e.g. TDG, CDG), we suggest acknowledgement of the source of funding (if applicable) should be made on the poster.
    2. The notice board arrangements
      • Each presenter will be allocated a notice board. We will setup the poster board for you one day before the Expo. Please make sure your posters are posted on the correct board. Please check the board arrangement with the conference helpers at the location.
      • Additional notice boards can be arranged. Please contact the EXPO team as soon as possible for special arrangements.
      • Conference helpers will be present on the location to provide assistance with putting up the posters if you have special requirement on poster board setup.
      • Presenters are reminded not to remove the posters after the event is finished. The posters are to stay for extended poster exhibition for one more week. We will be responsible for collecting the posters after the whole exhibition period and then contact you and negotiate a way to return the poster to you.

    5. Demonstration (optional)
      • Wireless network is available at the Expo venue, and so presenters can bring along their own notebook computers (fully charged please as there might not be a power socket near your board). Additional resources can be negotiated.
    6. Facilitation
      • You are earnestly requested to attend to your poster and/or demonstration stations between 12:20 pm and 2:15 pm. The main purpose is to explain and demonstrate your teaching and learning project, development or project to any interested parties and answer queries. This is a good way to find new collaborators.
      • If you are not available to attend the poster presentation/ demonstration on the day, you can assign your delegate(s)/ colleague(s) to facilitate the session for you. In this case, you are encouraged to inform the EXPO team about the arrangements as soon as possible. Make sure that she/he knows about the arrangements for putting up the posters and/or demonstration.
      • You and/or your delegate are welcome to bring along additional helpers to support the facilitation. However, the maximum number of all the facilitators for each station should be limited to five.

      • An award will be given to the best poster whose poster presentation and/or demonstration that best addresses the innovative projects/strategies for teaching and learning. The results will be announced at the closing ceremony.
      • Judgment of the posters and/or demonstration is made by all participants and presenters and a panel of fellow professors of the University. Posters will be reviewed and scored based on the following criteria.
