To Clarify,
The conference will mainly focus on how CBT packages and the WWW has
assisted with innovative approaches to information skills training. (For
example there will a presentation and workshop based on the packages
created at Aberdeen University; a presentation on the ELEN project;
workshop on creating interactive quizzes using the CASTLE project etc)
There will however be some presentations/workshops (such as the EduLib
workshop) that are not computer based.
Hope that this clears up the confusion!
