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.

The Committee will review the poster proposals and official notices of acceptance for the Poster Session will be communicated by February 15, 2016. Poster presenters must register in the 2016 FDIB http://ciber.robinson.gsu.edu/msi-consortium/fdib/fees/ by April 30, 2016 to be included in the program.

Note: Additional instructions will be shared with Poster Session participants along with acceptance notices.

Colleagues whose proposals are accepted for presentation at the poster session will have their names included in the official FDIB 2016 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 during the lunch on Sunday, June 5. Prizes will be $1,000, $700, and $500 for first, second, and third places, respectively.
