Raises questions of funds for Ed Informatics group I guess - as
discussed. Maybe we could develop a culture whereby whoever is
funded to go could report back seminar-style to the group and we
could all get to see the handouts etc.?

> As e-learning proliferates, the use of CAA (Computer-assisted

> items which are useful only if they can be re-used, edited and
> delivered on different CAA systems and platforms. In this workshop you
> will learn about current CAA solutions from commercial vendors and
> research projects. The workshop will also cover the IMS Question and
> Test Interoperability (QTI) Specification, which is being developed by
> an international consortium aiming to provide a consensus for
> representing and implementing CAA.

> This pre-conference workshop is being offered at a special
> discounted price of just £40.
> Booking deadline: 21 March 2002.
