75 minutes (30 min presentations; 45 min discussion)

A symposium is an integrated, interactive engagement between a panel of presenters and the audience. The focus of the discussion is a clearly identified theme that reflects an emerging issue in policy, practice or research. Participants will make presentations linking their perspectives to the theme, with ample opportunity for discussion. A nominated person will moderate this discussion. Symposia should be designed to run for 75 minutes including 45 min for discussion.

Proposals for symposia will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• the relationship of the topic to the conference themes
• the relevance of the symposium for the conference audience
• the coherence of the panel's presentations as a group
• the range of expertise and/or points of view represented by the panel
• the strategies to be used to encourage audience participation.

The Program Committee would be particularly interested in offers of symposia on the following issues:

• Foundations programs
• Disseminating outcomes from Carrick Grants
• Scholarships in teaching
• Indigenous curriculum
• Science education
• Practicum
• Transnational education
• First year experiences
• Peer review

Proposals will be required in the form of a 500-word paper outlining the format of the symposium and will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
