             Computer Assisted Learning Workshop

The Computer Assisted Learning Unit at the University of
Queensland is holding a two day CAL Workshop on 15-16th July.
The aim of the workshop is to:
     *  review ways in which a CAL Authoring system can be
        used to generate tutorial material.  Examples will be
        given of programs produced by the CAL Unit.
     *  introduce the basic features of authoring languages,
        showing how lessons can be created, how to use
        graphics and write questions.
     *  discuss ways of becoming an "efficient" CAL lesson
        author.  This will include overall lesson design, how
        to structure a lesson for CAL and the general flow of
        a lesson.
     *  look at screen design and layout, how to use
        overlays, and the roles of graphics and animation.
     *  describe the concept of an author's personal toolkit.
The workshop is introductory and will involve the
participants in using the PAL Authoring Language.
