Fourteenth Slice of Life Workshop and Computers in Healthcare Education
Symposium to be held in Munich, Germany, July 31, August 1-4, 2001.More information at http://www.slice.gsm.com
Dear Colleague:
The fourteenth Slice of Life Workshop and Computers in Healthcare Education Symposium returns to Europe after five years. The Slice of Life workshop began at the Eccles Health Sciences Library of the University of Utah in 1988 and has continued on an annual basis. In 1998 Gold Standard Multimedia offered to host the Web site and handle logistics and registration and
Thomas Jefferson University wanted to combine the CHES meeting with ours. We were excited when our colleagues at Ludwig Maximilians University wanted to host the meeting. We are grateful to them for arranging the facilities as well as all the work involved in making the local arrangements, program, and proceedings.The purpose of the workshop is to bring together developers of medical and health-related educational multimedia. Attendees usually fall into one of the following categories: (1) Medical educators (including library staff and course directors) that want to see how new technology is used and get ideas about what is available. (2) Software and Web developers who may or may not also be faculty and who want feedback on projects completed or under development. (3) Current and potential developers wanting to see new
directions in software and technology. (4) Those eager to network with colleagues with similar academic or technical interests. (5) Those who know nothing about computers in education but want to see the state of the art in a friendly environment where participants want to share their enthusiasm and knowledge. The workshop program involves more than half the attendees in some way and avoids concurrent activities in order to stimulate communication and networking. The workshop is limited to 250 registrants. Register early to save money and avoid disappointment.The event has two major parts. An optional 2 days of hands-on or lecture/demo Pre-workshops on July 31 and August 1 and two and one-half days of auditorium presentations, demonstrations, breakout sessions, posters and special interest groups on August 2-4. The Web site archives contain the program and abstracts from the previous three meetings for those interested in seeing the content and flavor of previous events.
Special events will include dinner and an evening at Nymphenburg Park Thursday and the traditional Saturday afternoon and evening grand extravaganza (extra $) following the conclusion of the workshop. This will be a trip to Chiemsee for scenery, castles, good food, and continued dialogue with new and old colleagues.
