Computers in English Studies, STELLA Symposium, 14 - 15 June 1991
'STELLA' is an acronym for Software for Teaching English Language
and Literature and its Assessment. The project is in its third year
and has successfuly incorporated computer based materials for teaching
Old English, Old Icelandic, stylistics, metrics and Renaissance lexis
into English Language and Literature courses at Glasgow University.
The STELLA Project will host a meeting on the use of computers in
teaching and research in English on June 14th and 15th 1991.
It is hoped to cover as many applications as possible while retaining
the informality and practicality of a workshop format. In order to give
participants maximum hands-on experience, numbers will be limited to 40.
Contributions will take the form of a 45 minute workshop, or a
demonstration of a package on a single machine. There will also be one
or two talks and group discussion sessions on the state of the art.
