Description¶

The series invited educators during registration to volunteer as panelists or breakout moderators, then prepared selected volunteers in a pre-Edcamp background building session with a content expert, resources, guiding questions, and facilitation tips. The report states this "created the roles of panelist and moderator to support this goal" of centering practitioner voice in sharing learning sciences principles, and the post-survey showed at least 90 percent agreement that the roles increased expertise and confidence.
