Educators' Symposium Overview

The Educators' Symposium brings educators from both academia and industry together to share their ideas, experiences and techniques in teaching agile methods.

The Symposium this year will be a full-day event including a keynote, paper presentations, a workshop, and a panel discussion.

Follow the keynote will be paper presentations. This year, based on clarity, originality and educational merit, the program committee selected the following five papers for presentation:
