From June 17 to June 20, 1992, Acadia University will host the Fourth
International Conference on Computers and Learning, ICCAL'92. The program
includes 45 full papers presented in three parallel streams, 29 posters and
short papers, five workshops/tutorials, four panels, and six invited
speakers. A separate two-day workshop on computers in science education
sponsored by APICS precedes the conference, and a social program complements
the technical presentations.
Invited speakers include Dr. H. Maurer from Austria, the creator of the
Hyper-G hypermedia project; Dr. L. Moore from the University of North
Carolina, the Co-Director of the acclaimed CALC three-semester calculus
program; Dr. J. Murray, Director of the MIT Athena language learning project;
Dr. M. Petruk, the Executive Director of the Apple Canada Foundation and a
leading authority on authoring systems; Dr. B. Shneiderman, the head of the
Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University of Maryland and well
known for his work on hypertext and user interface design; and Dr. B. Woolf,
a leading expert on AI applications in education from the University of
Massachusetts.
Full papers will be presented in 15 sessions covering areas such as
authoring systems, intelligent and knowledge based systems, computer assisted
language learning, applications, computers in distance education, and others.
An open session on work in progress will also be included.
Panels include a manufacturers' panel with anticipated participation of
representatives from Apple, Commodore, DEC, IBM, Microsoft, NeXT Computers,
and SUN; and panels on artificial intelligence in education, authoring
environments, computer assisted language learning, and computers in
distance education.
Tutorials and workshops cover authoring systems (lecture and hands-on
lab), artificial intelligence in education, computer assisted language
learning, and principles and applications of semantic networks.
The full registration fee for ICCAL is $240 (includes proceedings
published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science) until May
1, 1992 and $280 after, the student fee is $120 (does not include
