THE AMERICAN STUDIES CROSSROADS PROJECT

is offering a Faculty Development Workshop

and Regional New Media Institute on

TEACHING AMERICAN CULTURE AND HISTORY

WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

June 3-7, 1998

Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.

The American Studies Association's Crossroads Project, along with
the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning
(ASHP/CML), is offering a five-day faculty workshop to explore
the issues of narrative and inquiry as they pertain to the
interdisciplinary study of American culture, new media resources,
and classroom learning.

The Crossroads New Media Institute will feature an integrated
approach that combines practical hands-on sessions,
demonstrations, and group work revolving around successful
strategies for introducing new technologies into the culture and
history classroom. In particular, the workshop will emphasize
the use of information technologies to engage students in active
and authentic learning, with an emphasis on multicultural and
multivocal approaches to American culture study.

Subject: EAGLES PANEL AT LREC

>> From: Simone Saint Laurent <lrec@ilc.pi.cnr.it>

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

At the First International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation
(LREC), to be held in Granada, Spain, May 28 - 30, 1998, there will be a
EAGLES PANEL ON LEXICAL SEMANTIC STANDARDS FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS on MAY
29, 1998 from 17:00 - 18:40.

To provide more detailed information about the work done sofar within
the EAGLES lexicon/semantics interest group, we have prepared a HTML
version of our most recent report, accessible at
http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/rep2 (even though we are still working on
it). This is an interim report and should be considered as a ``polished
draft''. Moreover it is still only the survey part.

The final report, available in September 1998, will provide a revised
version of the present survey plus an additional part on Guidelines for
standards in the area of lexical semantic encoding with specific reference
to Machine Translation, Information Systems and related enabling technologies.
