Multimedia on Golden Pond:
Producing Exciting Interactive Multimedia
for Education and Training

When: October 26-30, 1992

Where: Dartmouth's Minary Conference Center,
Squam Lake, NH

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Educators who may wish to produce and use high quality interactive
multimedia productions: use of text, computer graphics, and motion
video to create vivid, stimulating programs for individual and group
learning.  Prior experience with multimedia is desirable, but not
required.

DESCRIPTION:

Harnessing the art and traditional crafts of film and video production
under the control of computers and the user, and marrying them with
computer-generated graphics and sound, can produce a heady combination
to move, challenge, and stimulate.  This workshop is about crafting
EXCITING conceptual and experiential environments for learning.  This
is made possible by creating multimedia programs that are rich in
concepts, that are realistic in content and in their portrayal of
physical and social environments, that are interesting and entertaining
to use.

This is an opportunity for educators and trainers to learn from a
world-class expert about producing enthralling, high-quality
interactive multimedia programs, using tools that are available today
at reasonable cost.  Dr. Henderson is widely recognized for his
qualities as a producer and designer of interactive media programs, and
as an effective teacher.  His workshops at national meetings have
received rave reviews.  In this workshop, he will provide an in-depth
look at multimedia and his work.  He will also explore emerging
concepts related to multimedia: cyberspace and virtual realities.

The workshop will follow lecture/demonstration and case-study formats,
followed by limited hands-on work with production tools.  Presentations
will include demonstration of exemplary programs and detailed analysis
and discussion about how they were designed and produced; a main goal
will be to describe and demonstrate the process of producing
high-quality interactive media programs, as well as to share "tricks of
the trade" and war stories.  Other lectures and demonstrations will
dealing with each of the media in turn (text, sound, photographs,
video, still and animated computer graphics).  Though this is not
intended as a practical workshop in production, programming, or
graphics design, attendees will have an opportunity to gain familiarity
with these.  IBM and Apple interactive media workstations; video
production equipment; a digital audio editing and sound design
workstations; and a graphics design and development workstation will
all be available for use by attendees during the second half of the
workshop.  IML staff will be available to guide and answer questions
during that time.
