Abstract
The chapters in this section offer accounts of the application of Variation Theory in different contexts and for different purposes. The overarching message is that Variation Theory offers such an intuitively universal perspective (see Runesson & Kullberg) that it can be applied usefully to any instructional situation with the expectation that insight will follow.
