What is the "Slice of Life" Workshop?

The group began as users of the "Slice of Life" videodisc. (For more information see the Slice of Life videodisc web site.) We like the name, we still use the resource to grab images! For the past ten years, developers of medical multimedia and interested new-comers get together to share ideas:

1. Hear and see new technology for medical/health applications.
2. Demo new multimedia teaching programs they've made/bought/sell.
3. Share innovations for the WWW, distance ed and asynchronous learning.
4. Attend demonstrations or hands-on "Pre-Conference" Workshops.
5. Acknowledge and encourage student participation with the award of a $1000.00 cash prize for the most outstanding student project.
6. Demonstrate the tools, programs and projects they have been working on.
7. Discuss strategies for getting new technologies incorporated into the curriculum.
8. Share software and ideas, problems and solutions.
9. Share evaluation data.
10. Meet others with similar interests with whom they can network throughout the year.
