We’re pleased that you are considering becoming a valued part of this year’s Student Academy on Information Technology. This event provides an opportunity for students to showcase the work they have done with information technology, inside and outside of the classroom. Projects using technology that are written and/or produced by students are appropriate for these exhibits. We encourage a wide variety of submissions, including both individual and group projects.
Presentation Categories
Projects for presentation might fall into any of the following categories:
* Web authoring
* Presentation technologies (e.g., PowerPoint, digital slide shows)
* Explorations of gaming and online virtual worlds
* Multimedia authoring (video, audio or both) and multimedia projects
* Digital portfolios (text, images, other digital objects)
* Instructional tools
* Programming
* Computer-Aided Design
We realize some projects may fall into other categories, or overlap the categories named above, and we encourage applicants to describe their own categories in the “other” field on the application form. These projects may be strictly academic in nature, but they don’t have to be. We encourage students to present on any IT-related projects or creative work.
Presentation Types
Presentations fall into two types: lecture-demonstrations (maximum 15 minutes) and poster sessions. Lecture-demonstrations will be held in fully multimedia-equipped classrooms. Poster presenters will be supplied with a table, laptop computer, Internet connectivity, and electricity.
Submitting a Presentation
The first step in becoming a presenter is to submit a proposal.
