Targeted Poster Sessions [Click for session list and descriptions]
Targeted poster sessions combine the graphic display of materials with the opportunity for discussion of the research. Sessions are organized around a common theme or body of work. Presenters introduce their posters with brief opening statements and end the session with a panel discussion of the research. The remaining time allows attendees to visit posters.  Although it is not a requirement, all targeted poster session presenters are urged to present their research on the conference theme.

Workshops [Click for session list and descriptions]
Workshops afford participants an opportunity to experience firsthand the research tools and strategies employed by the presenter.  Workshop presenters will create an interactive environment in which participants will become familiarized with real data or research results and work collaboratively to discuss their analysis and/or implications through hands-on/minds-on activities.  Similar to the Targeted Poster Sessions, Workshops will strive to address issues that pertain to the conference theme and/or general issues related to methodology of physics education research.

Contributed

Roundtable Discussion [Click for abstracts]
Roundtable discussions allow maximum interaction with the presenters by eliminating the formal didactic presentation. There will be opportunity for discussion on Wednesday evening, concurrent with the Contributed Poster Session. Individual presenters are assigned tables in a meeting room where interested persons may gather for discussion with the presenter about his or her paper or project. This format is particularly appropriate for papers addressing topics best pursued through extensive discussion. Authors are encouraged to bring copies of the full paper or summaries and to remain available for discussion throughout the session.
