HOW TO SUBMIT AN ESSAY-STYLE PAPER

Essay-style papers from 1,000 to 3,000 words are invited.

Papers for possible publication should be emailed directly to the Online Conference Manager, Ms Debra Brydon, at: brydon@cybertext.net.au by 2 October 2006. Papers should be provided either as plain email text messages or as attached Word documents (not html). Papers should not include any formatting, such as columns or boxes. Text can include italics and/or bold but should not use capitalisation, coloured text or underlining for extra emphasis. The use of tables or graphs should be avoided altogether, with the relevant information being fully explained as text. The titles of papers should be kept reasonably short (eight words or less) and should seek to provide readers with a clear indication of the paper抯 content.

You are encouraged to email one read and shoulders photo of yourself for publication with the paper. This must be attached separately as JPEG files and not embedded within the text file. If there is more than one writer, please arrange for one photo of both/all of you to be taken. Acronyms (and aren’t  there so many in education !) should always be spelled out in full the first time they are mentioned in your paper, for the benefit of interstate and overseas participants.

Links to other useful websites are welcome, so please do include these in your paper.

All papers should include an 'About the Author' paragraph of approximately 100 words at the end. This should include your title (e.g., Mr, Ms, Dr, etc.), your full name and your current professional position/location/school. Where you have co-written the paper with another educator, information about both of you should be included, including both of your email addresses. Postal addresses should also be provided for the purposes of future correspondence, although these will not be published on the online conference website.

For further information on submitting a paper to the online conference, please contact the Online Conference Manager, Debra Brydon. If possible, please confirm that you, or you and your colleagues (as a team of writers), are able to provide a paper by the deadline or are considering submitting one.
