Housing | • STUDENT SOFTWARE AWARD • Each year, a $1,000 prize is awarded to a student (preference given to medical or graduate students) who has created an exceptional software application. The purpose of the Student Software Award is to recognize how many of us are assisted and coached by students and the projects we undertake with them. In the past, awards have been given to students who utilized the "Slice of Life" videodisc in their software. However, this is no longer a requirement and it has been several years since we have had a videodisc application! Formats include standalone, CD, Web, handheld or DVD programs. Submissions can be web based (but not password protected) or on CD-ROM or disk(s). The URL or CD must be submitted together with the completed application form and a supporting letter from the faculty advisor involved with the project explaining the student's role. Also include how it has been used in the local environment, future plans, etc., anything that provides the judges with background, tech information, evaluation. Make a distinction between what the faculty did and what the student did. Students can be from any country and the program can be in any language. Please encourage your students to apply and write a letter for them to include. They do not have to attend the Slice of Life meeting in June to participate. The program will be demonstrated at the meeting. Please circulate this to appropriate faculty and students at your school. Remember that it could be $1,000 for them and a good feeling for you. Click here for the "Student Software Award" Application Form. The deadline is June 15, 2002. Submissions should be sent to Patricia Stewart at the University of Toronto. The committee will meet during the pre-workshop time to decide the award. Mail to: Dr.
