CALL FOR PAPERS AND
CONTRIBUTIONS

TeleTeaching 93
International Conference and Exhibition
Trondheim, Norway
August 20 - 25 1993

Learning and working independent of time and distance


Welcome to TeleTeaching 93
in Trondheim, Norway, August 20 - 25, 1993


TELETEACHING 93
The main theme of TeleTeaching 93 is the development and
application of telecommunication techniques to enhance human
knowledge and skills. The areas of application include
education at primary, secondary and university levels, as well
as training in various situations, particularly the workplace.

The conference will be a forum  for  educators, politicians,
managers of human resources and experts in the many
technical fields of teleteaching.  What technology can do now
and what it promises for the future are two aspects to consider.
Experts are welcome to discuss the development of all
techniques used in teleteaching, particularly purpose-built
equipment, software, transmission and management systems.
Educators will discuss how they have implemented new
techniques, both successfully and unsuccessfully, in order to
meet the learning needs of society. We hope that the
discussions between politicians, managers, educators and
technical experts will help to reduce the gap between teaching
and learning requirements on the one hand and technical
solutions on the other.

Technology is a tool to assist in the development of society.
What are our goals and visions for the next century?  The
technology to be used will depend on the social and technical
infrastructure in society. At TeleTeaching 93 we will discuss the
consequences of implementing various techniques in society at
different economic, technological and social levels.


The participants at TeleTeaching 93 will:
-       present the current state of the development in
        telecommunications used in education, training and
        distance working
-       demonstrate successful applications from different
        institutions and countries
-       debate the impact upon society of the new technologies
-       inform about initiatives, plans, support, regulations etc.
        by international organizations, governments and regional
        authorities
-       define the subject of teleteaching as one of the most
        important in education and training
-       debate the potential of distance working
-       discuss what is needed and what is possible.
