The conference will have a range of talks and workshops but of course contributions from our trainees and graduates are what we want most of all. We have several ways you can get involved – most involve you uploading a file or a video, but if you want to share your idea live, then let us know. The 13:00 (UK time) session will be a live session where you can turn on your camera and talk or present!
- Upload a poster about your research
- Upload a presentation based on your research
- Upload a Teach Meet video about an aspect of your practice, something you have tried, or something you want to share
Presentations can be a poster with or without narration, a slide-based presentation live or pre-recorded, or a TeachMeet slot, where you can speak for a maximum of 5 minutes about something you have tried in your teaching that you want to share (also live or pre-recorded). We have something for everyone! You can sign up for more than one type of presentation if you want to.
You will need to log in using your university account to upload.
Please submit your contribution by Friday 2nd June
Poster
Create a one-page poster about your research using this SunRAE PowerPoint template.
You can fill it in from your work on either of your research modules – you can copy and paste into the boxes, add any images and your name and city or region. Please save your poster as a PDF and upload it.
Posters are a great way to get involved without having to present live. Another option you might prefer is to create your poster but record yourself talking about the poster and uploading it as a video in the presentation section below.

Presentation
If you would like to create a slide-based presentation to share either live or pre-recorded, then you can use your own template. If you would like to use the University of Sunderland powerpoint template, you can download it below. You should still keep your presentation focused on the same topics as the poster. This will help you use your research assignment. If you would like to present live between 12:00 and 13:00 (UK time) on Thursday 8th June, you can let us know on the submission page.
Another option you might prefer is to create your poster but record yourself talking about the poster and uploading it as a video.
With a maximum of 15 minutes to talk, we suggest that you limit yourself to a maximum of 15 slides. Depending on the number of presenters in your slot, there may be time for questions at the end of the session.
TeachMeet talk
Live TeachMeet: Thursday 8th June 13:00 (UK time)
Our TeachMeet is an organised but informal opportunity for teachers to share ideas, good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching. You might have created a great teaching resource, run an extra-curricular activity, or have a top tip to share. Don’t be shy!
In the TeachMeet slot, you can speak for 2 to 5 minutes about something you have tried in your teaching that you want to share (this can be live or pre-recorded). You don’t have to prepare any slides – the idea is you just talk! You can of course ‘show and tell’ if you want to, but you will be kept strictly to 5 minutes maximum!
If you want to pre-record your contribution, you will need to upload your audio or video (or share the link if it is stored online) by Friday 2nd June so that it can be added to the conference.
TeachMeet talk upload
If you would like to practice and/or pre-record your talk to share in advance, please upload it here. Remember these should be 2-5 minutes maximum and very informal. Mobile phone recordings would be fine! If you would rather record as audio instead of video, please do!
If you have not heard of TeachMeet before, please see this great 90-second YouTube video. If you do an internet or YouTube search for TeachMeet, you will see lots of ideas and past events.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
