Hi Paul,
I saw your email last week for descriptions of the JA-Sig courses/
meetings and don't know if you wanted a description for the UCamp as
well (similar to what Colin just sent you for his course)? Anyway
here it is below.
cheers
Barbara

At this point we are still canvassing the communities to see what
topics are appropriate for the UCamp.
In general UCamps offer information about what is User Centered
Design (UCD) and how it can be applied to improve the user experience
of learning management systems and other higher educational
software. We will have topics on basic UCD and possibly other more
advanced topics. All topics will be presented in a workshop like
format to encourage collaborative learning and discussion amongst
UCamp participants.
