Sorry everyone; I just noticed the website link I used isn't working. A working link 
is http://www.helsinki.fi/elf10/2017/.

And, given the tight timings, if you'd like to take part then please just send me a 
title and short abstract (100 words is fine).

It's ok if your ideas are mostly based on your own teaching, though you'd ideally 
include reference to pedagogical research. You can of course simply say in the 
abstract that you will be relating your work to pedagogical studies, briefly 
mentioning broad areas of relevant research, then wait to actually read up on that 
research until nearer to the conference :)

And it's worth mentioning that pedagogical presentations can be useful for career 
progression, both in terms of internal appraisal and also accreditation by (for 
example in the UK) the Higher Education Academy. They're not as important as research 
presentations, and probably not worth doing if you've already done a few, but 
certainly worthwhile if you haven't previously given a pedagogical talk.

Hoping to hear from some of you soon!

Dave
