Submission deadline | May 28, 2021 |
The 2021 RACI Chemical Education Division Symposium aims to bring together the diverse community representing chemistry educators (engaged in research and practice) who teach in tertiary and secondary contexts in Australia. We welcome members in secondary education and of international communities to join us and share their work.
The symposium is typically scheduled in years between major RACI meetings, including meetings such as Congress, and this year will be hosted between Monday July 5th and Tuesday July 6th at Griffith University (Gold Coast Campus), Queensland. The meeting will be presented in a hybrid format for those unable to travel to the Gold Coast to attend in person.
NOTE: DUE UNIVERSITY TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, MOST PRESENTERS ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON. HENCE, WE HAVE MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO RUN THE SYMPOSIUM ENTIRELY ONLINE.

Submission Guidelines
The 2021 symposium has an overarching theme of:
Assessment, Feedback and Online Innovations: Where to Next?
This broad theme enables the community to identify the more specifc topics that the meeting will address therefore there will not be formal themes for the meeting.
Keynote Speakers
Professor Nicole Graulich - Institute of Chemistry Education, Justus-Liebig University, Germany
Professor Patsie Polly - School of Medical Sciences, University of New South Wales, Australia
We are planning that the following papers will be included:
- Oral Presentations 12 minute presentation and 3 minutes of questions:
- Posters describing examples of interventions, strategies and/or evidence of student learning in chemistry (we welcome the new #betterposter format that is gaining popularity internationally). Posters must be prepared in portrait format (boards are 750 mm wide and 1000 mm high).
- Short Oral Presentations 5 minute 'elevator pitch' to talk about 'Where to Next?", i.e., present whatever ideas you have that you think people need to start to talking about!
