Universal Access to the Net: Requirements and Social Impact
This talk will address the following questions: What does "universal
access" mean with respect to network services? Is it desireable?
Where do we stand today with respect to achieving it? What is
required (particularly in the HCI realm) to achieve it? What are some
of the consequences and side-effects -- positive and negative -- for
society?
Tim O'Shea | The Open University
A Typology of Educational Interfaces
There has been a depressingly ironical contrast between the slow
evolution of 'innovative' styles of computer use in education and the
rapid evolution of interfaces for pedagogic software. Some important
educational interface design problems have now been almost entirely
finessed. I present an historical classification of approaches to
interface design organised with respect to the ways they can support
learners working both individually and in groups over extended periods
of time. This typology supports cautious optimism when considering the
educational potential of new styles of shared distributed learning
environments.

Closing Plenary: Douglas Coupland
We Love Hal 9000

Douglas Coupland is the best-selling author of, amongst others,
Generation X, Shampoo Planet and Life After God.
With his recent best selling novel microserfs, Coupland has reinvented
himself as a futurist of great humor and insight, exploring Microsoft,
the cult of the computer, and changing millenial notions of identity.
Stepping up to the podium for a rare presentation, Coupland will offer
his own inimitable look on the effects of computers, cyberspace and
other high technologies on our personal and professional lives. Full
of his dead-pan humor and dead-on insights, Coupland will cut through
all the information superhighway hype and dry technical jargon to get
to the very heart of how computer technology will (and already has)
changed who we are and what we do.
