ENCORE: A wiki community for the learning sciences (Panel Symposium)
- three quarters paper written (400 words each)
- long abstract
- mini paper (use study information i.e., methodology
- 2600 word count for entire research
- using same wiki functionality for a variety of important functions in the learning sciences (teaching courses, planning community, wiki curriculum, social dynamics)
Submitting a Session Proposal
A symposium, panel discussion, or other session format (see descriptions in the "Session Formats" section of this call) provides opportunities, not afforded by a single paper, to examine a specific problem or topic from a variety of perspectives, engage in intensive discussion, or draw on a wide range of experiences. Organizers of sessions propose the topic, solicit participants, and describe the format to be used. The organizer must obtain the consent of all participants before submitting a session proposal.
The final step in the submissions process is uploading the proposal summary. Provide a summary
of 2,600 words or fewer (excluding references) for use in judging the merits of the proposed
symposium or other type of session. The summary should deal explicitly with as many of the
following as are applicable, preferably in this order:
Discussant: ??
Introduction:
(Slotta) Supporting Exchange of Open Resources
(Conte) Social Network Analysis of Patterns of Exchange
(Peters) CoDesign and Knowledge Building Curriculum for Life-Sciences
- co-design with teacher and wiki (in curriculum)
- findings (brief)
(Madeira) Wiki Based Community for Professional Development
- Encore enabled of community of teachers - to plan and enact project-based learning;
- Building Wiki - to effect planning

Section 6: Cognitive, Social, and Motivational Processes
Research on cognitive, social, and motivational dimensions of learning, instruction, and assessment. Example research includes studies of group, individual, developmental, or cultural differences; self- regulation; memory; skill acquisition; learning from text; reasoning; transfer; situated and embodied cognition; knowledge; beliefs; and conceptual change. Section Chairs: Dan Hickey, Indiana University, dthickey@indiana.edu; Helen Patrick, Purdue University, hpatrick@purdue.edu.
Section 7: Technology Research
Research dealing with theoretical frameworks, design, and evaluations of learning and instruction in multi-media, computerized, Web-based or other technology-based environments, and data-driven constructive critiques of the role of technology in substantive educational improvement. Section Chairs: David Williamson Shaffer, University of Wisconsin, Madison, dws@education.wisc.edu; Kurt Squire, University of Wisconsin, Madison, kdsquire@education.wisc.edu; Richard Halverson, University of Wisconsin, Madison, halverson@education.wisc.edu.
