The call for contributions is now closedThe 2013 Annual Conference takes place towards the end of an exciting year of SEDA@20 celebrations. The conference will focus on ‘Creativity in Educational Development’ and we invite proposals for sessions exploring this interesting aspect of educational development that has been somewhat neglected in both practitioner and research literature to date. We are interested in exploring definitions, research and reflections around the pedagogical worth of creativity within educational development; creative and novel solutions which address identified problems within any of the thematic areas below; and practical ideas for bringing a creative perspective to our roles as educational developers. We hope that this will be a conference where innovative, creative and cutting-edge ideas and activities are brought to the table for us to engage with, discuss and debate.Themes
Session formatsProposals for posters, discussion papers and workshops are invited which address the conference themes. The emphasis should be on reflection, exploration, scholarship and evaluation rather than merely a description of activities. SEDA conferences traditionally include sessions which involve delegates in active participation and discussion, and consequently, this is a key requirement of all discussion paper and workshop proposals. Discussion papers: (up to 25 minutes plus at least 20 minutes of questions and discussion) giving an account of research, evaluation, policy or practice with the emphasis on drawing out lessons for others and involving participants in engaging with your findings. Workshops: (45 or 90 minutes) with the emphasis on a more detailed exploration of a research-informed issue or resource and including high levels of creativity, innovative thinking and practical participation. Posters: the maximum size should be A1. Posters will be available for participants to view throughout the conference. Additionally, there will be a timetabled poster session when presenters should be available to discuss the content with conference participants.Criteria for acceptance of proposalsEach proposal will be reviewed for acceptance at the conference against the following criteria:·
Submitting your proposalProposals should be submitted electronically to SEDA at conferences@seda.ac.uk, using the proposal form , by Friday 3rd May 2013. It is normal practice to accept only one contribution per individual so as to provide the opportunity for as many people to contribute as possible. It is a requirement that all presenters register as conference delegates either for the whole event or for the day of their session.
