These students submitted a PhD plan, which was initially reviewed by the organising committee in order to make a decision about whether or not to accept the student for the Doctoral Consortium. Later each submission was reviewed by two senior academics and one peer, and students were required to revise their submissions in the light of these reviews. The papers provide a window into the current issues of concern in TEL research and range widely from those investigating research in classrooms to those designing and trialling new technological approaches to enhancing learning in both formal and informal settings. Some of the research discussed is in a mature stage and the students are in a position to report on findings and the implications of these findings, and other research is at an early stage and as such, still in the process of clear formulation. The Doctoral Consortium is a forum within which students at all stages of their PhD study will be supported; for some students this support will aim to prepare the student for a final viva or panel examination, and for others the support will help the student formulate a rigorous and useful study. The Doctoral Consortium is jointly funded by the European Association of Technology Enhanced Learning (EATEL) (http://www.ea‐tel.eu/) and the STELLAR European Network of Excellence (http://stellarnet.eu). Both EATEL and STELLAR aim to build early researcher capacity through doctoral schools and consortia.
