Final Call for Program Committee Members/Reviewers: IEEE TALE 2018 Conference on Educational Technology and STEM Education Due to an overwhelming number of submissions received, further applications are being sought from suitably qualified and experienced individuals to join the Program Committee as paper and/or proposal reviewers for IEEE TALE (http://tale2018.org <http://tale2018.org/>). TALE is IEEE Education Society's flagship conference in the Asia-Pacific region. This prominent international conference caters to researchers and practitioners with an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education—with a particular emphasis on engineering and computing disciplines—as well as those interested in the innovative use of digital technologies for learning, teaching and assessment in any discipline. TALE 2018, which will be held in Wollongong, Australia from 4 to 7 December 2018, will include two Streams (more details about which are available at http://tale2018.org/call <http://tale2018.org/call>): (a) an Academic Stream for prospective academic/researcher presenters wishing to author peer-reviewed papers for the proceedings; and (b) a Practitioner Stream for prospective K-12, VET/L&D and Engineering & Technology Industry presenters those who only wish to submit an abstract for consideration (not published in the proceedings). The minimum requirement to join the Program Committee for Academic Stream is a Master's degree plus research experience; for the Practitioner Stream, a minimum of 3 years' practical (e.g., teaching, training, design, development) experience is required. An award will be presented to one or more Program Committee member(s) who the Program Chairs, in consultation with the Conference General Chairs and the wider Conference Organising Committee, deem to have made the most outstanding contribution in executing their reviewing duties. (Note: The Program Chairs’ decision is final.)
