Abstracts were invited for the symposium, and for submission to a subsequent special issue of E-Learning, published by Triangle.

Contributions were requested to be any combination of conceptual, critical, empirical, theoretical or experimental, and to relate in some way to the symposium's key themes of power, identity and culture in online learning.

Session format
Final presentations will have a 45 minute slot. A reasonable part of this time should be given to discussion. Full papers should be written before the symposium and made available to participants at the presentation.
