A panel consists of several participants, generally three to five, who present diverse perspectives on a topic, typically describing a variety of viewpoints or experiences. Panels are held during a 75-minute conference session, and presentations should be kept to a length that allows about a third of the time to be devoted to discussion among panelists and with the audience. Panel abstracts must not exceed the length of two single spaced pages.

A demo provides an opportunity to present a pedagogical tool, a class activity, or courseware that support learning in computing. These will have 10-minute presentations that describe the item and experiences using it, as well as a quick demo. Demo abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages.

A tutorial is different from a panel in that it involves instruction rather than discussion. The tutorial presenter is an "expert" in the field, and the attendees are usually novices. Tutorials are usually 75 minutes long, and are held during one of the conference sessions. Tutorial abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages.

A workshop is more in-depth than a tutorial. Preferably, it involves active learning activities (hands-on or "pen-and-paper" exercises). The presenter is an "expert" in the field. Workshops are usually 3 hours long, and are held before the conference. Workshop abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages.

A poster presentation on work in progress provides an opportunity to receive feedback on the project. A poster on finished work offers a chance for more extensive discussion than a paper presentation affords. We invite both types of posters, which may be on any of the kinds of topics that are also appropriate for a paper, such as:
Faculty poster abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages.
