                Computers in Science Education and Training
	Workshop sponsored by Atlantic Provinces Council on the Sciences
		and a Science Culture Canada Grant

The Jodrey School of Computer Science, Acadia University is organizing a
two-day workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to present the use of
computers in science education and training, including hypermedia presentations.
The program will focus on an inventory of current applications of computers 
in science education and training to give participants an overview of how 
computers are being employed in this area. The future use of computers, to 
increase science awareness in science education and training will also be 
addressed.

 The workshop will take place at Acadia University, Wolfville, on June 15-16,
1992. The workshop will be held over a two day period. 
During the first day, invited faculty members, high school teachers and
employees from organizations involved in CBT for science education  and 
training, will give 0.5 h long presentations. Also, there will be parallel
sessions showing courseware developed for teaching science. All areas of
science will be covered, for example Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science
and Mathematics.
On the second day, there will be a round-table discussion to determine 
how CBT can be used in the classroom in the most efficient way. 
The workshop will coincide with the International Conference on Computers
and Learning, ICCAL'92 to be held at Acadia on June 17-20, and so
there will be ample time for demonstrations of CBT materials.

Audience
High school teachers, university faculty members, students and employees
from selected organizations, particularly from Atlantic region, who have 
expressed interest in the use of computers and science education and training.

Registration
An advanced program containing a list of presentations and general
information, including available accomodations, will be mailed in early May.
The registration fee is $20 before May 1, 1992 and $30 after. Registration
includes lunch on June 15. Student's registration is $10.
