In this Discussion, you analyze your Practicum Project in terms of conventional means of scholarly dissemination: presentations, posters, and publication.

Presentations:

A presentation is an oral dissemination method that involves the delivery of findings from research to an interested audience. These presentations are often delivered as workshops, talks or seminars at symposiums and conferences. Presenting research to an audience is a way of engaging with scholars and receiving feedback.

Posters:

Posters represent research results in a visual way. They are usually displayed at conferences and symposiums. Posters can be used to visually communicate research findings. They may include images, graphs and charts. Scholars can use posters to share their research and get feedback from other scholars.

Publication:

The dissemination of findings of academic research in books, journals or any other form of written communication is called publication. The publication is the formal method of dissemination for scholarly work and includes a peer review process. The publication of research results allows scholars to reach a larger audience and gain credibility within their fields. It also helps to advance knowledge.

Presentations, posters and publications, as conventional methods of dissemination, allow researchers to engage in dialogue with scholars within their respective fields, establish credibility, and share research findings. The best means to disseminate research results will vary depending on their nature, intended audience and researcher’s goals.
