The Bristol Biomedical Image Archive Learning and Teaching project (http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/bblt) is pleased to announce two one-day seminars on the use of images for learning and teaching. This JISC funded project builds on the successful Bristol Biomedical Image Archive (http://www.brisbio.ac.uk), and is hosted by the Institute for Learning and Research Technology (http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk), University of Bristol, UK. Using Images in Learning and Teaching: Two One-Day Workshops Workshop One: Image Copyright, Image Management & Using PowerPoint to Create Image-based Tutorials: Date: Thursday 12th July 2001. 10am-4pm. Location: University of Bristol. Fee: £60. Workshop Two: Using Images in Web-based Learning and Teaching Materials Created with CALnet. Date: Wednesday 18th July 2001. 10am-4pm. Location: University of Bristol Fee: £60 The number of places is strictly limited and early booking is advised. Further information: http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/bblt/events.html To register please complete the online booking form at http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/bblt/reg.html or return to: Skip Cox, ILRT, 8-10 Berkeley Sq., Bristol, BS8 1HH, UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: The Bristol Biomedical Image Archive Learning and Teaching project (BB-LT) presents a series of workshops for academics who wish to learn more about using digital images to create learning and teaching materials. Although the images and examples will have a biomedical focus, the knowledge and skills gained will be applicable across disciplines. Workshop One: Image Copyright, Image Management & Using PowerPoint to Create Image-based Tutorials: Date: Thursday 12th July 2001. 10am-4pm. Location: University of Bristol. Fee: £60. This workshop will look at several key issues involved in using images in learning and teaching and focus on the use of images within Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) tutorials created with PowerPoint. Tutors: Vince Jones, Technical Advisory Service for Images (TASI); Emeritus Professor John Bradfield (previously Professor of Histopathology, University of Bristol); Skip Cox, BB-LT. Topics: Copyright; Finding images; Formats; Basic image manipulation; Basic image management; Incorporating images into PowerPoint tutorials. The day will include practical exercises, hints and tips. Objective: To enable the delegate to enhance his/her skills in creating image-based learning and teaching resources through hands-on use of materials created for BB-LT under the supervision of resource creators and image experts. Who should attend: Members of the UK HE biomedical community who wish to incorporate images into their learning and teaching resources. Prerequisites: Delegates should be registered with the Bristol BioMed Image Archive before the day. BioMed registration is free for the UK HE community through http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/. Delegates will also benefit more from this workshop if they have some experience of creating PowerPoint presentations and have viewed the PowerPoint Tutorial "Understanding the Glomerulus" found at http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/bblt/res.html. Fees: £60 per workshop including lunch and tea/coffee. Workshop 2 Using Images in Web-based Learning and Teaching Materials Created with CALnet Wednesday 18th July 2001. 10am-4pm. University of Bristol. £60 This workshop will look at some simple techniques for using the Web authoring programme CALnet to create Web-based teaching materials with digital images. Although the images and examples will have a biomedical focus, the knowledge and skills gained will be applicable across disciplines. Tutors: Julian Cook, University of Bristol Learning Technology Support Service (LTSS); Anthony Telford, Dental School, University of Bristol; Skip Cox, BB-LT. Topics: An introduction to choosing images; basic CALnet page construction; incorporating image resources into basic Web pages; self-assessment quizzes. The day will include practical exercises, hints and tips. Objective: To enable the delegate to enhance his/her skills in creating image-based learning and teaching resources through hands-on use of materials created for BB-LT under the supervision of resource creators and image experts. Who should attend: Members of the UK HE biomedical community who wish to incorporate images into their learning and teaching resources using CALnet Prerequisites: Experience with a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape); Familiarity with Windows Explorer; Bristol BioMed Image Archive registration, free for the UK HE community through http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/. Fees: £60 per workshop including lunch and tea/coffee. ---------------------- Skip Cox [log in to unmask] http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk ----------------------
