Pecha Kucha, the Japanese term for the sound of conversation (“chit chat”) began in Tokyo, back in 2003. Pecha Kucha aims to provide opportunities for participants to share their ideas, messages, stories, and reflections in an engaging, creative, succinct way to be shared with the audience in an informal manner. Based on the desire to ‘show more and talk less, the Pecha Kucha 20x20 is a creative yet simple visual presentation format where a presenter shows 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically, and the presenter talks along the images. We invite faculty, students and staff to share their stories on classroom innovations, personal reflections, or anecdotal narratives related to higher education and aligned to the conference themes.
To be considered for the Pecha Kucha session we ask you to submit a proposal of your Pecha Kucha. Proposals can be based on personal reflections, classroom examples or narratives related to evidencing teaching practices for effective teaching and learning in higher education. Your submission include the following information:
Proposals submitted for evaluation will undergo a comprehensive assessment based on key criteria. The evaluation process considers the proposal's creativity and engagement, relevance to the conference theme, in-depth exploration and insights, organization of ideas, benefits to teaching and learning in higher education, and wider applicability.
