There won't be a computer in sight. Rather the workshop participants will produce ideas, outlines, screen designs and specifications for intelligently interactive and motivating educational software. Whether we design for the web or CD ROM, we have to know what we want to achieve, understand the general techniques and algorithms to achieve it, and be able to specify it clearly and unambiguously to those who will actually do the programming and media production. Helping you to do that is the goal of this workshop. Please see Reviews of Past Offerings for comments by faculty who have participated in this workshop.

Director functions equally well on Mac and Windows machines, and is probably the most widely used multimedia authoring program. The workshop will be designed for faculty with little or no programming or multimedia experience, and it will teach programming. More advanced multimedia authors and programmers will also find the workshop useful. The workshop will include extensive peer interaction and a lot of individual computer time.
