Tutorials are 90 minutes free format sessions, where the presenter(s) share(s) a specific and top of the art practical know-how to conference attendees that are willing to participate. Tutorials run in parallel with other conference tracks, and participation is included in the attendees’ conference fee. We invite proposals for tutorials that may address one or more of the above listed topics, although authors should not feel limited by them.
Tutorial proposals are limited to 5 pages. They must include:
A title;
A 150 words abstract;
Value of the tutorial for the attendees;
Learning objectives aligned with the value statement;
Description of how the activities in the tutorial support the learning objectives and how the proposer will pass his/her messages onto the attendees;
Expected background of the attendees;
A concise description of material(s) that will be provided to attendees;
Timetable that clearly indicates how the interaction with the audience will develop over time;
A short bio of the presenter(s);
A history of the tutorial: has this tutorial (or any derived version of it) already been given? If so, detail where and when, and how it has been received. Proven track record has to be balanced with the innovative aspect of the tutorial.
In preparing your proposal, you are encouraged to include some creative techniques to teaching and learning. Any teaching approach that ensures active interaction would be greatly appreciated by the RCIS audience. We encourage you to craft a tutorial that can deliver high quality content in an enjoyable way.
Please also consider including printed or online take away material for attendees. For example, templates, checklists, frameworks… that attendees can employ in their own settings.
We finally encourage authors to optionally include a 1 or 2 minutes video of the speakers teasing their tutorial.
