ANNOUNCEMENT
WORLD-WIDE WEB CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
"Teaching & Learning With The Web" [1]
\|/
(Note: numbers in square brackets refer to WWW links listed at the
end of this document.)
1. GOAL
This is a workshop at the First International WWW conference[2]
in Geneva, devoted to the discussion of topics related to the
educational use of the World-Wide Web (WWW)
2. ORGANIZERS:
Daniel Schneider[3], TECFA[4]. Contact: schneide@divsun.unige.ch
Marcus Speh[5], DESY[6] and GNA[7] marcus@x4u.desy.de
Daniel Peraya[8], TECFA peraya@divsun.unige.ch
We're still looking for 1-2 organizers (preferably Computer Based
Learning specialists) to join us!
3. PARTICIPATION
...is open to everybody agreeing to contribute in one the following ways:
* prepare a short (3-8 pages) paper to be discussed in the workshop: an
alternative to more formal and/or longer conference papers.
* prepare a list of questions & or suggestions (preferably with pointers
to some work/reading) on the educational use of the Web to be discussed
in the Workshop.
* suggest/present technical questions/solutions for courseware writing
with the WWW.
Contributions must be made available as a single HTML page
before the conference. The core of the contribution should be contained
within this page, so that we can print it out for the workshop. Persons
without access to a reliable server can use TECFA's server[4].
Duration and Form of the Workshop will be announced after we get a
"critical mass" of participants. Anyhow, we plan to make this workshop
pretty informal, since it is the first ever organized.
4. REGISTRATION & DEADLINES
On WWW, you can fill a registration form[9]
or send Email to Dan Schneider, schneide@divsun.unige.ch [3]
April 17, 1994: Declaration of intent. We'd like to hear from you
whether potentially you plan to participate.
May 1, 1994 : Formal declaration of participation and draft pages.
May 20, 1994 : Final pages must have reached us.
NOTE: You have to register with the conference [2] too !!
5. SUGGESTED TOPICS
Subjects to be discussed in the workshop will be determined in function of
your contributions. However we'd like to cover a relatively broad spectrum
and maybe initiate the creation of working groups for more specialized
topics. Any suggestions/additions to this tree are welcome.
A. WWW COURSEWARE: hypertextbooks[10] and WWW support for both virtual
(online) and conventional classes. Including case studies of virtual
prototype courses[11]. Contact: marcus@x4u.desy.de [5]
B. WWW in the context of "traditional" distance teaching and open
learning. What are the potential problems & perspectives ?
Contact: peraya@divsun.unige.ch [8]
C. WWW and the various Computer Assisted Learning Paradigms. How could
we use WWW for: CAI, CBT, CAL, ITS, MicroWorlds, etc.? How could
we integrate other (educational & CSCW) software (locally or on WANs).
