Why a poster?

A poster presentation allows you to share information, ideas and your work in adult literacy and numeracy at the conference without needing to do a workshop or presentation.

If you have some information to share about your teaching, your research, or your other adult literacy & numeracy work but you don’t want to run a conference session this is an ideal way for you to share your ideas.

For example, your poster might share your ideas about good practice when working with First Nations learners, in the SEE program, in adult literacy, in adult numeracy, with literacy or numeracy learners who are also English language learners or who are early school leavers.

You might use the poster to highlight your research, trauma informed approaches, your use of authentic materials and learning experiences or any other adult LN related themes!

The poster presentation

Your poster will be a visual and/or written presentation of your information. You will create the poster and print it out on A3 paper and bring it to the conference where it will be displayed.

You can also add another printed page (A4 or smaller) with your bio and an explanation of the poster, such as some background information.

There will be an optional opportunity to take part in a poster Q&A session if you would like to talk about the poster. If you opt to take part in the Q&A more information will be supplied.

There will also be a chance for delegates at the conference to vote for their favourite poster, with a modest prize for the winner.
