Larry Rowe, Brian Smith and Scott Stevens will share their perspectives as well. We will invite short talks to represent needs in Europe and Asia and to reflect requirements of potential employers of those trained in the MM field. The rest of the morning will deal with the problem of defining an MM curriculum. This session will be preceded by a break and followed by lunch. At the end of the morning session the workshop will break into groups so that each course and knowledge module can be covered by those best suited.
Initial discussions can begin over lunch.
During a 2 hour period a draft syllabus for each course or knowledge module will be developed. After another break, the groups will all meet together for a closing plenary, presenting their conclusions. Discussion will lead to refinements of group reports. The workshop report will appear on WWW to stimulate discussion in the MM community of the proposed curriculum. The Education Committee will follow up with other publicity and action, such as developing a proper bibliography for each course, and identifying courseware, online demos, and other resourses to help educator launch such courses.
