Submission

Create NEW Accounts for Proposal Submission

Proposals will be submitted using All Academic , an online conference management system. Links to the  online submission site were posted on April 1, 2015.

Prior to submitting a proposal, you will need to:

  1. Create your own All-Academic Account , and
  2. Have each of your co-speakers create an individual All Academic Account.

Proposals Must be Blinded

You will also need to blind your title, session description, and entire proposal. Therefore, do not include the author(s), university, state, county, or city names; project titles; or websites. Instead use Author (year) for citations and references and state X, city X, project X, etc., for any identifying information.
If a proposal is not blind, it will not be reviewed.

Resources to Consider when Preparing a Proposal

  • ETA hand2mind is a sponsor of AMTE and has offered to provide manipulative materials at the 2016 annual conference so that conference attendees can participate in hands-on activities in conference sessions. Presenters of accepted sessions will have the opportunity to reserve and use materials, which may be found at hand2mind.com .
  • For Extended Sessions, Symposia, Discussion Sessions, Individual Sessions and Brief Reports, the conference venue will provide a screen and digital projector for each room. Presentations requiring audio must indicate their request as part of the proposal submission. No other equipment will be provided by AMTE.
  • For the Poster Session, a 30” x 40” foam board and push pins will be provided by AMTE, with the hotel furnishing easels.  Laptop computers and/or audio speakers are not appropriate for use in the Poster Session.
