STP’s International Twitter Poster Conference (ITPC)

October 30-November 1, 2022

#stp22poster and #stp22thread

Poster Guidelines

Poster topics should relate to the teaching of psychology, including teaching tips, teaching activities, tips about doing research with psychology teaching, and scholarship of teaching and learning projects. If you are unsure if your poster is suitable for the conference, please feel free to get in touch and we can advise. 

Posters should be tweeted with the hashtag #stp22poster. 

We strongly encourage you to make an image specifically for Twitter. One option is to save a PowerPoint slide as a .jpeg file and post the .jpeg file on Twitter. Images on Twitter work best when they are twice as wide as they are tall, and you will likely want fewer words than a conference poster with larger font. We encourage you to test it out before the conference. See http://tinyurl.com/testposter for an example of fonts. 

During the event (Oct 30-Nov 1), just tweet the image (.jpeg) which will be a summary of your research along with #stp22poster.
