Any WWW-interested folks within hailing distance of Southampton 
should consider taking a look at Microcosm, esp. to note how it
might interact in interesting ways with web-based technologies.

Association for Learning Technology Workshop
============================================

Building Resource-Based Learning Environments
- --------------------------------------------- 
Using Hypermedia Systems
- ------------------------


Presenters: Wendy Hall, Gerard Hutchings & Hugh Davis 

Date: Tuesday July 13th 1993 

Duration: 10.00 - 16.30

Venue: University of Southampton


Objective:

The main objective of this workshop is to show how the new generation of
open hypermedia systems, such as Microcosm, can be used to build
richly-resourced, multimedia learning environments. Participants will be
introduced to authoring in Microcosm and shown how this environment is
being used to create a campus-wide structure for multimedia learning.
Examples of material developed as part of the project will be used as
illustrations. Participants will also be shown how existing applications
can be integrated into such an environment and linked to the multimedia
material in the resource-base.

Programme:

10:00-10:30     Registration & Coffee

10:30-12:30     Introduction 
			Review of existing systems, the need for open
			systems, overview of Microcosm

12:30-13:30     Lunch

13:30-15:00     Authoring in Microcosm
		Examples of the use of Microcosm to include:
        		Human Morphology
        		Engineering
        		Biology
        		History

15:00-15:30     Tea

15:30-16:30     Microcosm as the basis for a resource-based learning strategy
		Open learning systems for the future

16:30   	Depart

Coffee, lunch, tea provided.
