WWW Conference Workshop:
Teaching & Learning with the Web

Important: The conference is full now. New registrations will be put on a waiting list. If somebody drops out, you may drop in. Note however that you can still submit a contribution to the workshop. (Its highlights) will probably be discussed without you, but we will maintain links to the contributions even after the workshop here. Teaching & Learning with the Web is an ongoing effort!

Call for Participation

Goal

Organizers:

• Marcus Speh - Deutsches Elektronen Synchotron (DESY) and GNA
• Daniel Peraya & Daniel Schneider - TECFA, School of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Geneva.
• Kenneth Hensarling - Honolulu Community College
• Overall Coordination/ this WWW page: Daniel Schneider

Participation & Registration

1. 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.
2. 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.
