Panel Session
(Presentation time, 40-60 minutes, including discussion)

For example, a panel discussion may present arguments in support of, and in opposition to, an aspect of learning design. Papers (6-8 pages) can be submitted for a panel session and they will be double-blind reviewed. A one page proposal for the panel session and any papers are due for submission on or before 30th September, 2011.
