Curricula and resources for courses about multimedia (panel session)

This panel will discuss a recommendation for curricula guidelines for courses about multimedia. Based on conference input, the guidelines will be modified for review prior to future publication by ACM (with other groups). The recommendation will be one of the main results of a June 2000 Dagstuhl workshop led by 4 of the panelists. Dr. Heller, the 5th panelist, also attended that workshop, and is co-PI with the panel moderator on a directly related NSF project, Curriculum Resources in Interactive Multimedia, CRIM, see http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~crim. Each of the panelists has taught courses about multimedia. Each is interested in developing tools/demonstrations/resources to help in those course. Each has a particular area of interest in the multimedia field. Together they constitute a representative group among those who will contribute to and benefit from curricula resources in multimedia.
