Dr. Wilbert J. McKeachie International Poster Prize
The 2009 Teaching and Learning Conference Organizing Committee is pleased to announce the Dr. Wilbert J. McKeachie International Poster Prize. This poster session competition aims to promote the importance and value of posters as opportunities to explore effective and innovative teaching and learning practices, and disseminate research results.
Presenters have been encouraged to reconceptualize the typical poster session in creative ways to incorporate active learning approaches and interactive engagement with both poster and presenter.
Popular vote based on the poster competition criteria will determine five finalists, from whom the adjudication panel will determine the poster prize recipient.
Conference participants are invited to take part in the selection process during the Reception, Poster and Resource Sharing Session on Tuesday, May 12, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. Each conference wallet contains a poster competition ballot.
The Dr. Wilbert J. McKeachie International Poster Prize will be presented at lunch on May 13.
