CALL FOR PAPERS
"Teaching with Hypertext"
August 8-9, 1988
Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine
It has long been predicted that the advent of hypermedia will have a
dramatic impact on education. Now, particularly since the introduction of
Apple's Hypercard in August, 1987, hypermedia is becoming widely
available to educators for the first time. What effect is hypertext having
on pedagogy? "Teaching with Hypertext" will bring together teachers from
a wide variety of disciplines, both within and outside of academia, to
consider how easily available, cheap hypermedia is influencing them and
their students.
Desirable topics for papers include examples of applications of hypertext
in both formal classroom settings, and independent or less structured
learning environments; sound and video applications with hypertext; the
impact of hypermedia on form and pace of curriculum; and the relationship
between traditional hard-copy learning resources and hypermedia.
