Educational Theory

Regular and Virtual Symposia

We call our special sets “symposia” to emphasize the tone of conversation we try to create between the papers. From time to time we will also compile “virtual” symposia, drawing together papers published at different times in different issues to highlight related aspects of a question or problem.
