Dear ActiveMath interested,
our group will be organizing an ActiveMath authoring and discovery tutorial on January 30th and Feb 1st 2007 at DFKI in Saarbrücken, Germany.
This workshop will feature a strong authoring tutorial but will be based on an active dialogue: expectations of each participants about the ActiveMath learning environment will be discussed and approaches to realize them in ActiveMath will be introduced and realized concretely.
It will provide participants with strong insights on the usage and capabilities of ActiveMath as well as the authoring tools that exist for it.
It is aimed at persons comfortable with the usage of web-browsers and text-editors.
The workshop will start at 10:00AM on January 30th (with preliminary set-ups) and end on Feb 1st at 15:00 after a presentation of the results.
The workshop will be lead by members of the ActiveMath group with an active involvement of each participant. The participation is free of charge, in exchange, we expect this participation to be logged and analyzed for evaluation purposes.
The participants are expected to:
Linux desktops, with KDE environment, can be arranged to accomodate for expectation 4).
Registration will only be accepted after the expectations 1) and 2) are met. Doing this enables us to make sure that the system is ready to accomodate such wishes. It has been our training experience that caring for such in advance guarantees that small glitches are ironned out, permitting, e.g., a new file-type to be properly served.
More information can be obtained from Paul Libbrecht, by email at paul@activemath.org.
Please contact our secretaries, Irmtraud Stein or Astrid Thönes, for help in finding accomodations in Saabruecken: stein@ags.uni-sb.de or Sek-DMAS@dfki.de.

Éva Vásárhelyi, Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, interested in teacher training
Manfred Kerber, University of Birmingham: I have no experience with ActiveMath content, but use LaTeX, HTML (recently XHTML) quite intensively in my teaching. I expect to learn how I could use ActiveMath in my teaching, and would like to understand in addition to the techniques, the costs and limitations.
