Please submit ONE link to a public website or Google Doc with ALL your session resources. If you are submitting multiple sessions, create a “landing page” with all your links. Here is an example of a Doc version. Feel free to make a copy of the Doc and modify it. If you do not have an existing resource page, we recommend linking to a public Google Doc now that you can go back to closer to the event and populate with resources and links to your required apps.

Basic sessions are slower and have a narrow focus. They focus on the fundamentals for getting started with digital tools, where educators can pick up simple ideas in a comfortable environment.

Intermediate sessions go beyond the basics and focus on the application of tools. There may be occasions where more than 1 tool is introduced for cross-platform comparisons of features. Most or all of the features of the digital tools are usually explored here.

Advanced sessions are for those with previous experience and looking to push the limits of what is possible. These sessions are usually fast-paced. Participants may optimise their productivity using additional technical expertise e.g. writing scripts etc.

Technical sessions are for non-educator technical personnel to talk about technical implementations of Learning Management Systems and learning portals.

All speakers receive complimentary registration to the Summit. Each selected session comes with only one complimentary ticket, regardless of the number of co-speaker(s). Presenters who drive will be allocated a parking lot on campus to facilitate their session preparations.
