Abstract

There has been a growing experimentation with designing new forms of academic events and conferences recently, due to the “virtual turn” pushed by the Pandemic. This chapter discusses a blended format of holding student conferences. This format breaks the conference into two sequential stages: (1) the asynchronous stage, where students’ research outputs are exhibited on the conference’s website and (2) the synchronous stage, which is a live event that involves showcasing the asynchronous material to the audience; live “elevator-pitch” presentations by students; and award giving. Such a format seeks to harness the best features of asynchronous and synchronous modes of holding a conference. This blended format opens new doors for (a) promoting research-based education, (b) building student-staff relations and (c) empowering students by giving them new modes of expression and presence.
