SESSIONS: On Saturday, two rotations will take place...with three spaces available for up to three different topics OR the same one in each room...depends on the voting results. Look over the guidelines below, so you are familiar with the basics....you are not bound to what you voted for, if there is another topic you want to visit.
Subject matter experts will be in each room and prompts to get the conversations started...the rest is up to you!
On Sunday, we have a placeholder for one more Unconference session....should there be enough interest. Once we finish off Saturday's conversations, a vote will determine if there is enough interest in completing another round Sunday.
What is an "Unconference"?
What is an "Unconference"?
As an alternative to programming concurrent sessions/presentations of completed research an Unconference offers a rotation of semi-structured breakout sessions for attendees to come together and actively participate in a discussion on topics important to you!
Topics will be presented either before the conference or at the start of the meeting and attendees will complete a voting/ranking which will determine the program for the sessions!
This Unconference process aims to promote engaging discussions, sharing of expertise and (hopefully) brings out solutions and synergies for the challenges you face as modern anatomy educators and scholars.
Four key aspects inherent to the Unconference:
1) Participant-Driven as the agenda is built by attendees votes and interests,
2) Collaborative & Interactive with break out sessions purposefully organized as round-table, problem-solving conversations with Subject Matter Experts acting as facilitators and/or guides,
3) Flexible & Spontaneous refers to the "Law of Two Feet which dictates that if the discussion doesn't resonate, then move freely too another one!
and most important
4) Inclusive as we value the contributions of all attendees and welcome diverse opinions, perspectives and experiences.
