Interactive Learning '94 Conference
Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh
11th-14th August, 1994
Background
The annual Edinburgh Conference has become the definitive event for
practitioners at the leading edge of multimedia and education. In schools,
colleges, universities, industry and the home the promise of the computer as
a learning tool is starting to be realised. The reasons for this are both
technological and human.
On the technological front we see a staggering drop in hardware prices,
affordable CD-ROM and greater inter-operability between the major
hardware platforms. The arrival of digital video and the promise of the
information superhighway add further rich dimension to a crowded
technological cauldron.
On the human front the emphasis is on empowerment of the individual, using
powerful tools and applications. The computer becomes the `digital
assistant', enhancing our creative abilities, regardless of distance or physical
disability. No longer do we view the computer as the `automated teacher'.
This greater understanding of the role of the computer, coupled with the
enormous technological strides that have been made in the last year are at
last creating a viable international market for publishers. And education is
perhaps the greatest untapped market of them all. These are the themes that
will make this year's Edinburgh Conference an unmissable event.
Who should attend?
* Those in education who are strategically involved in the application of the
new technologies.
* Publishers, manufacturers and producers who have a focus in the
educational market place
Scope of this year's conference
Telematics: The Virtual Campus, multimedia networks, computer
conferencing, video conferencing, `Video on Demand', information
superhighways, the Internet.
Platforms: Windows-based PCs, Apple Macintosh, Acorn Archimedes .
Video: Video CD/MPEG, Video for Windows, Indeo, Fractals, QuickTime, Replay.
Audio: Speech synthesis, voice recognition
Compact disc: CD-ROM, CD-I, Photo-CD, CD-R
Design: Design for learning, authoring tools and techniques, ScriptX.
Titles: Resource discs and interactive multimedia titles.
Publishing: Size of market, needs, opportunities, CD-ROM publishing.
This year's conference
The enormous success of IL `93, coupled with the rapid growth of interest in
educational multimedia, has necessitated plans for a much bigger event in
1994. However we have no intention of losing that unique spirit which has
made the Edinburgh Conference a magnet for so many international
`movers and shakers' in the interactive learning field.
The magic comes from the interplay of ideas between the foremost thinkers
in the industry and their counterparts in education. The breathtaking pace of
development means that there are even more issues to explore this year.
That is why we have extended the conference by a day to allow a series of
pre-conference workshops starting on the Thursday and an early start to
the main conference on the Friday.
There are four main strands to the conference:
* The Virtual Campus: Digital technologies re-shape our view of the
learning environment, removing barriers of distance and disability. The
Internet points the way to the information superhighways of the future.
* CD-ROM Publishing: Digital video adds yet another new dimension to
a rapidly-expanding CD-ROM publishing scene.
* Authoring IS Learning: Multimedia composition by the communicators
of tomorrow is a learning process in itself.
* Design and Creativity: We have the technology, but without design and
creativity it is but an empty shell.
Organisation
The conference is directed by Roger Rist and his team at the Institute for
Computer Based Learning (ICBL) and chaired by John Barker, editor of
Inside Multimedia.
Sponsors
The core sponsors this year are NCET, BIMA, IMA, Learning Methods
Branch of the Department of Employment, coupled with major industry
leaders including Apple, Intel and JVC.
Exhibition
A major exhibition will be a feature of this year's conference. An exhibition
pavilion is being attached to the rear of the James Watt auditorium to
accommodate up to 30 stands.
Posters
We invite developers (including TLTP projects) to display work.
