you there!

A History of Early Courseware Development at MIT and Brown: Lessons 
from Project Athena and Intermedia

Katie Livingston Vale will talk about her doctoral research, in which 
she interviewed faculty and staff who developed courseware during the 
1980s under Project Athena at MIT and the Intermedia effort at Brown. 
Specifically, the research focused on how and why faculty engaging in 
work with Intermedia and Project Athena undertook their projects,  what
pedagogical models they employed, and what factors contributed to the
success and longevity of their courseware. It will not be as boring as
it may sound.
