3rd International Conference on
Information Technology Based
Higher Education and Training
July 4-6, 2002, Budapest, Hungary
http://mecha.ee.boun.edu.tr/educ.html
OBJECTIVES
As Europe enters into the emerging global information society, new opportunities are arising for
cost-effective solutions to education and training. The convergence of information and communication
technologies is enabling the creation and implementation of computer aided and/or multimedia based
techniques. It is recognized that traditional, mass-produced, highly controlled static and rigid
educational and training methods cannot cope with the greatly increased demand for higher education and
with the need to bring ever-increasing amounts of information, knowledge and expert reasoning to students
who may be far from a traditional classroom. We increasingly hear concepts like "virtual class" or
"virtual laboratory". The planned conference is one of the series initiated by the Euro-Med Information
Society Steering Group and has the goal of bringing together experts to discuss the current state of the
art in this area. Internet-based education and training will be a topic of particular interest.
