Conference Theme:
-----------------
Reaching new frontiers in multi media education is the theme of this
conference. The aim is to present cutting edge teaching techniques in all
disciplines of education through the use of multi media facilities. The
objective is to achieve efficient and effective ways of course material
delivery, novel approaches to tutoring, optimum utilisation of resources
and enhancement of learning.
Program:
--------
A comprehensive program has been planned for this conference. The program
will include plenary sessions led by world renowned experts in the field,
invited keynote speakers, invited sessions and demonstrations of state of
the art multi media based techniques in education. Suppliers of the latest
multi media equipment will be invited to present their latest products.
Topics:
-------
The following topics are of special interest and contributions addressing
them will be given priority.
* Development of computer software for teaching/learning
* Intelligent tutoring software
* Special featured simulation software
* Distance education
* Computer aided laboratory development
* Authoring languages and systems
* Interaction between computers and users
* Impact of computer graphics on learning
* Intelligent assessment methods
* Novel student feedback techniques
* Multi media education and the psychology of learning
* Open learning systems
* Interactive CD ROM applications
* Human, social and economic issues related to multi media education
* Quality assurance in multi media education
* Multi media education in developing countries

the medium used. These will be given high priority. The length of these
contributions should not exceed ten A4 pages*, see formatting requirements.
Category 2: This includes papers which describe techniques and teaching
methodologies without demonstrations. The length of these should not
exceed six A4 pages*, see formatting requirements.
* Contributions with extra pages will attract a fee of $80 per page.
Multiple contributions will also attract additional fees.

author and a 500 word long abstract for each paper. The Category, length
and format of invited contributions are the same as for submitted
contributions.
Journal Publications:
---------------------
A selected number of contributions will be published in special issues of
the International Journal of Engineering Education.
Format:
-------
All papers should be printed or typed on one side of a standard white A4
paper. The following format instructions should be closely followed: 2
columns with 5mm space between the columns, 25mm left and right margins,
30mm top and bottom margins, 12 point Times font or equivalent. Single
spacing should be used. An abstract of no more than 100 words, positioned
across the page, under author affiliations, indented 10mm each
side. Main headings should be in capital letters, bold and numbered.
Subheadings should be in lower case except the first, bold and numbered.
Figures and tables should appear next to where they are first mentioned,
numbered as Fig.(1), for example, with a centred caption below the figure
or table. References should be referred to and cited in the standard IEEE
format, eg: [14] S. Jones, P. Alan, and W. Chen, "Supervisory control of

T5&6: Development of Computational Hypermedia Environments using
Web Technology.
These tutorials targeted at those who (a) have used, or intend to use,
computer simulations for teaching and learning, and/or (b) have
entered, or intend to enter, into the exciting world of hypermedia for
educational purposes. In "T5" the Web technology is discussed and its
use as an emerging educational delivery tool is demonstrated. Diverse
media files such as hypertext, images, sound, animations and
simulation programs are being integrated in a structured way.
Simulation programs are used to demonstrate the methods of
establishing dynamic links between the components of the
"computational hypermedia environment". In "T6" widely used MS-Windows
shareware application programs are introduced, and used to develop a
general purpose computational hypermedia environments. Different
types of educational media files (html, gif, au, etc.) are generated
and/or edited, and links are provided to sample MS-DOS and MS-Windows
simulation programs.
All of the tutorials will include hands on experience using a PC or
Workstation. For this reason numbers are limited to 20 per tutorial and
places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
