Activities during the conference

The conference will include various opportunities for individuals to participate in. 

  1. Joint meetings:
      • Keynotes presentations and discussions 
      • Discussion panel: Current Issues in Teacher Education

 

  1. Conference sessions to be chosen by participants: 
      • Five parallel sessions of paper or poster presentations held in eight virtual rooms
      • Two symposium sessions, each comprised of two separate symposia held in two virtual rooms
      • Several RDC meetings, devoted to discussions in thematic teams and planning further joint work (the number of the meetings vary depending on the RDC). These meetings provide opportunities to get acquainted with the subject and specificity of the work of the RDC community and are helpful in making a decision about joining a particular group. Activities within RDCs can vary from shared research, EU funded projects, preparations of shared publications (e.g. a thematic issue of the European Journal of Teacher Education).
      • A session called The Newcomers Meeting aimed only at participants attending an ATEE conference for the first time. This meeting is scheduled on the first day of the conference.
      • Workshop How to publish in the EJTE, given by Prof. Maria Assunção Flores & Dr. Anja Swennen

 

  1. Coffee Rooms: 

During our virtual conference we have added a special meeting place called Coffee Room to provide more space for interaction.

      • Room 1 – thematic discussions related to the conference topics and current issues, will also allow for continuation of discussion following keynote addresses and parallel sessions. 
      • Room 2 – presentations of events, educational institutions from Warsaw, and the development of new ideas in education and teacher training.

Information for Participants, Presenters and Chairs

Conference Participants

  1. At the latest 3 days before the conference, all participants will receive links to all conference events, such as keynotes, discussion panels, individual sessions, symposia, RDC’s meetings, and a cultural event. Links will be placed in the conference program for every session. 
  2. When logging in to the ClickMeeting application, enter your full name. It will be helpful for other participants to be able to identify you during the discussion.  
  3. For each conference event, you want to participate in, log in 5 minutes before its start. It will help you avoid any technical troubles that would take up the session time.
  4. If you are disconnected, take it easy and click the link in the program again.
  5. Remember that in the ClickMeeting application it is not possible to change or blur the background – your surroundings will be visible.
  6. Remember to mute the microphone and turn off the camera during the presentation of other participants – this is important for the quality of the broadcast.
  7. During discussions you can ask questions both in the chatbox or through the microphone. 
  8. Joining parallel sessions and RDC meetings after they have started. We appreciate the challenges and logistics of attending a virtual conference. You may have a technical problem that delays you joining your preferred session, or your internet may go down whilst you are in a session. To ensure the sessions run smoothly and to time, we will allow you to join a parallel session or RDC meeting up to five minutes after it has started. After that, and to minimise disruptions to the presentations, you will have to wait for the chair to identify a convenient break to allow you into the ‘room’.
  9. Staying in a parallel session or RDC meeting once it has started. When attending conferences in person, you might have moved between rooms during parallel sessions to listen to the different papers you wanted to hear. Logistically, this is a challenge at a virtual conference. Also, it impacts on the presentations and the conversations that are taking place. Therefore, other than for technical reasons, for example, your internet goes own whilst you are attending a session, we ask that at this conference you stay in a session or meeting once it has started. Thank you for your understanding.

Presenters

Presenters should arrive at their sessions with enough time to get settled and check for any technical difficulties they may have before the session begins. The session chair will be available to help in any way they can.
