The Pacific Beach Hotel

E komo mai "Come Join Us" at Kapi'olani Community College, located on the slopes of Diamond Head, just up from Waikiki Beach.

We invite proposals that pertain in some way to the uses of computers at any level of writing education: K-12 to all types of post-secondary educational institutions. We especially welcome proposals for hands-on sessions, demonstrations, or any other interactive format. Concurrent sessions will accommodate individual 20-minute "talks," panels with four or five speakers, or one-and-a-half hour interactive presentations or demonstrations. Ongoing "poster" sessions for demonstrations throughout the conference are also possible. Furthermore, we are looking for half or full-day workshop proposals, to be offered both pre-conference, June 4th, and post-conference, June 9th. Standard networked PC and Mac equipment is available upon request.

Suggested Strands

Classroom uses, distance education, ESL, foreign-language teaching, networks, the Internet, hypertext and hypermedia, virtual classrooms, gender and technology, teaching writing vs. teaching computers, time management, what to do when the network goes down (as it most assuredly will), and other administrative issues will be considered.

Proposals must be postmarked or dated by Oct. 1, 1996. Notification of acceptance will be by Dec. 1, 1996. Mail three copies of a two-page (double spaced) abstract for a paper, panel, poster session, demonstration or workshop to:
