Protocols
The symposium is a working session in which session hosts are expected to facilitate a dialogue among participants. Hosts bring artefacts, documents, data sets, or other materials to catalyse the dialogue. All symposium participants are encouraged to engage actively, both in sessions they host as well as sessions they attend.
The structure of the LfPL symposium sessions is conversation-based and uses a Communities of Practice (CoP) model. This structure sources perspectives and viewpoints of all attendees, supporting rich and collaborative dialogue. For participants unfamiliar with CoPs, visit the UF Lastinger Center’s CoP Beginner’s Toolkit.
