Budapest, Hungary - August 28, 2007. One of the earliest sessions at the EARLI-conference was a symposium on
constructivist teaching and learning. This symposium was organized by
John Sweller, Richard Clark, Paul Ayres, and Paul Kirschner and
presided by Jeroen van Merriënboer. Speakers were John Sweller, Sean
Early, Paul Ayres, and Paul Kirschner. Discussant was Alexander Renkl.
The interest for this symposium was overwhelming. The symposium room
turned out to be too small, so speakers and audience went to an adjacent
bigger room. However, this room also proved to be inadequate with regard
to size and as a result people had to stand and sit in the corridors,
the doorway, and eventually almost 'intertwined' with the speakers. Paul
Kirschner shot some nice pictures of this remarkable start of the EARLI-conference
2007.
