		      DO YOU TEACH COMPUTER GRAPHICS?


			     DO YOU NEED HELP?


	  Announcement of Computer Graphics Teaching Aids Meeting
			 and Interactive CD demo.

			      Please read on!

A working group is collecting materials to help people teach computer
graphics. The aim is to create a common base of high-quality support
materials for the use of computer graphics teachers.  The types of support
materials include

		o  Viewgraphs (OHPs)
		o  35mm slides
		o  Videos
		o  Films
		o  Printed notes
		o  Software for graphics programming (e.g. mini-GKS)
		o  Interactive courseware

and cover such topics as

		o  Graphics algorithms, e.g. Bresenham, area fill, clipping
		o  3-D transformations and viewing
		o  Hidden surface removal 
		o  Illumination models
		o  User interface design
		o  Graphics standards

A one-day meeting will be help on Thursday 28 September at Middlesex
Polytechnic, Bounds Green, London, at which there will be

	- demonstrations of materials currently used by CG teachers (NB
	  please bring along examples of your own materials)

	- a demonstration by PHILIPS of their new CDI  (interactive compact
          disc) system (one of the issues which the group is examining is
          the feasibility of CDI as a medium for interactive courseware and
          on-line lecturing aids for CG)
