Descriptions of each presentation can be found on the website (www.religiouseducation.net).  
Research Interest Groups (RIG) discuss papers publishable in journals such as Religious Education.  All papers will be posted on the APRRE/REA website (www.religiouseducation.net) prior to the meeting and included in Proceedings (CD or hardcopy).  RIG registrants are strongly encouraged to read the papers from the website prior to the meeting. 
Colloquia (COL) are less formal than Research Interest Groups but provide for sharing emerging research, research-in-progress, or practices and programs that do not readily lend themselves to formal papers.  
Resourcing Workshops (RW) are presentations of scholarly and practical resources or approaches supporting the multiple practices of religious education. These sessions may seek to increase awareness or enhance performance of specific religious education practices. 
Task Forces are groups working on a shared theme over several years.
