Poster Session Submission for Effective Learning Strategies (ELS):

To submit proposals for ELS poster presentations:

  • 1. Enter the following in the field labeled "Abstract":
    • DESCRIPTION (up to 200 words)
      • 1st paragraph – "Learning Outcomes" — What will participants learn from your poster session?
      • Other paragraphs – Describe the idea, resource, teaching strategy, or education innovation that supports learning in accounting including the key issues and concepts that will be addressed.
    • MARKETING DESCRIPTION (up to 40 words)
      • "Sell" your poster presentation to a prospective attendee. What is the essence of the ELS Poster Session? What will the audience learn? This is your chance to market your best practice, so try to make the description appealing, but not misleading.
