Track 16. Doctoral Consortium

Presentation

In its own beginning, this Conference has a very strong link with a PhD Programme. This way, it will be a very important challenge that the PhD students may share their research advances with the highly valuable international researches involved in the TEEM Community receiving an invaluable feedback about it.

The TEEM 2018 Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for Doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in an interdisciplinary track, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their dissertation work to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress.

The Doctoral Consortium has the following main goals:

  • Provide a support for feedback on students’ current research and guidance on future research directions.
  • Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from researchers and students outside their own institution.
  • Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.
  • Contribute to the TEEM goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events.

Topics

  • Education Assessment and Orientation.
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • eLearning
  • Computers in Education
  • Communication Media and Education
  • Medicine and Education
  • Robotics in Education
  • Engineering and Education
  • Information Society and Education

  • First author must be the Doctoral student, the following ones the advisors.
  • The paper structure will be:
    • Title
    • Abstract
    • Keywords
    • Context and motivation that drives the dissertation research
    • State-of-the-art
    • Hypothesis/thesis and/or problem statement
    • Research objectives/goals
    • Your research approach and methods, including relevant rationale
    • Results to date and their validity
    • Dissertation status
    • Current and expected contributions

The presentation in the Doctoral Consortium track will be different from other tracks. First part will be focused on the oral presentation of papers through a scientific Poster. The presentation order is available in the Conference Programme. In order to organize the presentation, each doctoral student has to prepare a scientific poster with a summary of his/her paper in English and send to aliciagh@usal.es before 23:55 on 21st October(Local time in Salamanca). We will print the posters and take them to the session. Posters receive after the deadline will not be printed. The posters will be printed in A2 format. There is no restrictions about the content or structure of the scientific posters.

Last part of the session will be a roundtable with the participation of different experts from the Scientific Committee. Moreover, Doctoral students who for some reason send their papers to other track, they are encouraged to participate in the session of Doctoral Consortium too.

All participants are expected to attend all days of the Conference, including the social events. Being accepted into the Consortium is an honor, and involves a commitment to giving and receiving thoughtful commentary with an eye towards shaping the field and upcoming participants in the field.

Doctoral Consortium Week

After the TEEM Conference there will be several workshops and social events for the Doctoral students. These activities will be 22th to 31st October. More information in the following link: https://knowledgesociety.usal.es/news/iii-edici%C3%B3n-de-la-semana-doctoral-eks
