 Hello everyone, my name is Winnie and today I'm going to teach you how to submit a proposal for the 2021 Open Education Conference. You want to start by going to the OpenEducationConference.org website and hovering over the second tab titled 2021. Under that will be a link to the call for proposals. Go ahead and click on that and you're going to be able to find all of the information you'll need for the call for proposals, including the theme description, the 10 topics, the session types, the proposal submission requirements and timeline, as well as what the selection process will look like. When you're done reading the call for proposals in its entirety, you can go ahead and click any of these links to take you to our platform, Easy Chair. If you already have an Easy Chair account, you're going to be able to make a new submission right away. If not, you're going to go ahead and land on this page here where you can create an account by following this link. Once you're there, simply follow the prompts on the screen and fill in the information that Easy Chair requires. Easy Chair will send you a confirmation email where you can click confirm to confirm your email address and create a password. When you're done with that, you can log back into Easy Chair here. Once you're in, you're going to have to go back to the website under that 2021 tab on call for proposals and click submit a proposal. This will take you to this page where you can make a new submission now. Go ahead and click on make a new submission and the first thing you'll do is read the instructions. Then you're going to go down to author information, read the proper instructions and insert the information you need for however many authors you have for your proposal. If you are only presenting with one or two individuals, do not worry. You do not need three authors. You will still be able to submit your proposal. Go ahead and click here to add more authors if you have more than three authors. Next, you're going to move on to the title and abstract. I want to note that the abstract is the public description of the proposal for the conference program. So whatever you write here will be public to the conference attendees. You're going to move on to keywords, which can be any important words that are associated with your proposal. Next is topics. You're going to go to the topics and select one to three topics. Topics are meant to be broad and they're typically used for signing submissions to reviewers and for conference analytics. So click any of the three topics that you believe your proposal fits under or one and you can go ahead and move on to the next section. Here you can fill out the session type, the learning outcomes, the value and relevance to the conference diversity criteria here and participation statistics. So you can tell us what kind of presenter you are and we welcome new voices and encourage our participation so we factored in to our analysis. And then you'll tell us what time zone you're in to help us schedule the conference. Last but not least, you're going to confirm that you have read the call for proposals in its entirety and understand the session requirements. Once you're done with that, you can go ahead and submit your proposal to the Open Education Conference and we'll be in touch soon after that. Thank you so much and I really hope that you're able to submit a proposal for this year's conference. We truly think that it will be an exciting conference this year and we can't wait for you to join us.
