The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) is organizing a joint working conference on the theme "The Virtual Campus - Trends for higher education and training", to be held in Madrid, Spain, on 27-29 November 1997.
The conference will provide the opportunity for in-depth debate on recent trends in the use of telematics for higher education and training. It will also aim to explore further key themes for the next "Teleteaching" conference in 1998.
Major topics to be addressed at the conference will include:
- Distributed learning environments;
- Instructional telecommunications models;
- Computer supported collaborative work at a distance;
- Tools for distance education;
- Evaluation, scaleability and social issues;
- Collaboration between industry and higher education;
- Competition and collaboration: the role of the commercial provider of virtual higher education and training.
In addition, a special video-conference session will allow a number of delegates to participate in one keynote session from a distance, and to contribute to the question and answer session following along with actual participants.
Mr. Rosello of the Community's Telematics Applications programme (European Commission - DG XIII) will deliver a presentation on "New research avenues on multimedia-based learning in the European Union".
