Earlier last week I posted about using the poster format for the graduate students presenting their projects. This past Saturday afternoon the students presented their projects using this poster format.
I was very pleased with how the poster format worked for us. We followed a shift approach where half of the students presented first proceeded by the second group of students. This gave the students a chance to view the other projects and created a larger audience for the presenters.
The most significant advantage for this poster format was the social interaction this created. These are students in an online program so most of them, prior to the poster session, had not met face-to-face. This was a wonderful opportunity for them to meet each other and socialize. All of the students appeared to enjoy this social time and I received several comments regarding a preference for this format.
We plan to conduct next year's poster session in the same manner. It is a great way to share our work and carry out social exchange. I hope our students are able to establish lasting connections with each other as a result of their time in the course room and this opportunity to meet face-to-face.
