Proposal Selection Process

All poster proposals will be evaluated by a peer review committee following a double-blind process; reviewers will not know the authors, nor will authors know the names of their reviewers. The Poster Session Review Committee is made-up of five members with extensive IB teaching and research experience, and representing institutions of higher educations on four continents.

Colleagues whose proposals are accepted for presentation at the poster session will have their names included in the official conference program.

Each poster proposal will be evaluated for:

• Importance of the topic to the audience
• Novelty and creativity
• Adaptability for use by other faculty members

Best Poster Awards

Workshop attendees will be asked to cast ballots for the top three posters. Monetary prizes will be awarded for the first, second, and third place posters.
