The presenters represent several groups which have been working together informally for several years in the general area of instructional technology. As with other structured presentations by members of these groups, it is expected that a special issue of a relevant journal or an edited volume will be produced. Presenters will make draft copies of presentation materials available to participants. Participation will be limited to about 60 persons to insure an informal and collegial atmosphere. The idea is to have a focused session on a specific topic with highly knowledgeable participants.
Attire is generally informal.
