Eccles Health Sciences Library, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT Prerequisites: Intermediate knowledge of HTML is REQUIRED; you should have experience hand-coding HTML pages and understand the code, even if you have used a WYSIWYG editor. You should be able to code an HTML form or to quickly pick up on the coding; forms coding will be assumed and not explained in detail. Some experience with a scripting language such as VBScript or JavaScript is recommended, but not necessary. Synopsis: Tired of editing static Web pages? Are you interested in adding more interactivity to your educational Web sites? Using Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology, you can build interactive, dynamic, database-driven Web applications. This makes updating and maintaining your content much easier and less time consuming than manually editing static pages, so your content stays "fresh" and interesting for your students. Learn how to move from creating Web "pages" to creating Web "applications." Topics to be covered: Participants will learn enough basic concepts to be able to create a simple interactive, database-driven Web application for delivering educational content. They will learn how to structure the Web application using an "ideal" software architecture. They will be exposed to new technologies such as XML. In addition, they will learn how to find resources on the Web to help them create more complicated Web applications. Skills to be learned are in the abstract. 9:00 a.m.—4:30 p.m. Mastering Digital Images in your Teaching. ($75 with lunch) Preregistration Required. Hands-on, Limit 16. Two people may have to share a computer. Cost to non-registrants $105.

Synopsis Have you got hundreds of old slides on your shelves that you would like to use in PowerPoint? You will learn the basics and essentials of image processing including simple batch operations to help you with tedious repetitions, and you will learn to make a small photo album with thumbnails on the web. Not for beginners and not for experts - but for the rest of us. File formats and digital cameras along with scanners will also be covered. A CD for each participant with a lot of shareware- freeware - and images will be provided. 9:00 a.m.—4:30 p.m. Authoring with CASUS: Quickly Create Computer-based Teaching Cases. Hands-on. Limit 16 ($75). Preregistration Required. Cost to non-registrants $105. Two people may have to share a computer.

Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and Dartmouth Medical School, NH, USA Prerequisites: None. Who should attend: Would you like to create Computer-based Teaching-Cases in a short period of time? You do not have programming capabilities? Then this pre-workshop is for you. Synopsis: We will familiarize you with the ease of handling the CASUS Authoring System. We will teach you in one day how to put real multimedia cases together. After this workshop you will be able to create your own virtual patients with their authentic story of a disease and it’s therapy. 9:00 a.m. — 12:00 p.m. Streaming Digital Media for the Web. ($40 with lunch). Tutorial/Demo. Preregistration Required. Cost to non-workshop registrants is $60. Location: Psychiatrische Klinik, Campus Innenstadt, Nußbaumstraße 8, 80336 München, Room A 024 and A 025 INSTRUCTOR: Paul E. Burrows, University of Utah, KUED Media Solutions, Salt Lake City, UT, USA Who Should Attend: This pre-workshop focuses on preparing linear streaming media for Internet distribution. The pre-workshop by Nieder & Pearson on Interactive QuickTime and Wired Sprites is a great follow up to this session. Synopsis: Overviews of various video editing and media compression tools for distributing digital media over the Internet. In-depth look at options and procedures in producing quality digital streaming media. Dozens of samples of streaming media, comparing and contrasting quality and features. 9:00 a.m. —12:00 p.m. Internet Security. ($40 with lunch) Lecture/Demo. Preregistration Required. Cost to non-workshop participants $60. Location: Medizinische Poliklinik, Campus Innenstadt, Pettenkoferstraße 8, 80336 München, Seminarraum 29 INSTRUCTOR: Wilhelm Dolle, Head of Information Technology, IT Security, interActive Systems GmbH, Marburg, Germany Who should attend: Anyone interested in an overview of the technical aspects of security. Synopsis: Internet security can be defined as the protection of data from theft, loss or unauthorized access, use or modification. With the constantly evolving nature of the Internet, it is vital that users continuously protect themselves and their information. This issue is so important that many large firms employ full-time security experts or analysts to maintain network security. The two major themes will be: Knowing the Risks: Hackers and Crackers, Why Are Internet Users So Vulnerable? How do Crackers Enter a System? Types of Attack, Introduction to Viruses and Malicious Code. How to fight the risks: Operation Systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux/Unix), Security policies, Circle of protection, Encryption (Symmetric and Asymmetric, SSL, VPN), Firewalls, Application-Level Proxies, Host- and Network based Intrusion Detection Systems Incident Handling (Viruses, System Compromise) 1:30 p.m.—5:00 p.m. QuickTime Player as a Digital Media Authoring Tool. Lecture/Demo. ($35) Preregistration Required. Cost to non-workshop registrants is $55 Location: Psychiatrische Klinik, Campus Innenstadt, Nußbaumstraße 8, 80336 München,A 024 and A 025 INSTRUCTOR: Paul E. Burrows, University of Utah, KUED Media Solutions, Salt Lake City, UT, USA Who should attend: Whether working with a Windows or Macintosh computer, most think of the QuickTime Player as a way to view digital movies. It is much more than that. With the professional upgrade of the QuickTime Player (US$30), you suddenly have quite a powerful editing and authoring tool for digital media. Synopsis: We will illustrate the manipulation of various data tracks, while showing how the QuickTime Player can fix movies, even after they have been compressed for CD-ROM or World Wide Web distribution. We will also demonstrate how Cleaner Pro 5.0 from Terran Interactive, once used only to compress movies, now allows you to add media tracks to your QuickTime movies in a fast and straightforward manner. 1:30 p.m. — 5:00 p.m. From Splines to Spines: Making of 3D Models and Their Use in Life Sciences. $35 Lecture/Demo. Preregistration Required. Cost to non-workshop registrants is $55. Location: Medizinische Poliklinik, Campus Innenstadt, Pettenkoferstraße 8, 80336 München, Seminarraum 29 INSTRUCTORS: Thomas Kramer and Katrin Gaedt, interactive Systems Gesellschaft für Interaktive Medien mbH, Berlin and Marburg, Germany Prerequisites: None Who Should Attend: The process of making a 3D model includes light sources, objects, and virtual cameras, creating a "virtual camera set". Interaction of light and its environment must be simulated to obtain realistic computer images. Attend if you want to see how this is done. Synopsis: Participants will see how they can teach anatomical structure with 3D-models that help students understand the spatial dimensions of complex anatomical structures. Participants can observe step by step the making of 3D models. The post-production process includes generating a stereoscopic image, important for many applications. 4:00 p.m. — 7:30 p.m. Complimentary Hospitality. A fun, free social event for all Slice of Life attendees! Enjoy delicious food and drinks, meet new and old friends, inquire about places for meals and sightseeing, and join a group for dinner.
