Proposal.

Prepare a proposal, no longer than 10 pages, for review purposes. The proposal should be a clearly written specification of the tutorial. It should:

describe in detail the material that will be covered in the course
justify the tutorial for a CHI audience
explain how the tutorial will be conducted
give a schedule of events with time allocations
describe and provide samples of materials that will be included in the tutorial notes.

If the proposed tutorial has been given previously, the proposal should include a brief history of where the tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for CHI 96. In addition, if the tutorial has been given at a previous CHI conference, the proposal should tell how changes to the tutorial will address comments from previous attendees.

Conference Companion Summary.

Prepare a two-page summary suitable for publication in the CHI 96 Conference Companion. The summary should provide a descriptive statement of the content of the tutorial. It must be in the Conference Proceedings format, and must contain the title, authors, contact information, keywords, abstract, body, and references.

Advance Program Description.

Prepare a description of the tutorial suitable for inclusion in the CHI 96 Advance Program. It should guide potential participants in deciding whether to take the tutorial. The description should consist of four paragraphs, as follows:

The content, presentation style (lecture, small group, video, etc.), and duration (half day or full day) of the course.
The key learning objectives for the participants (what specific knowledge each participant is expected to obtain).
The intended audience of the tutorial (their specialties and experience level, plus any prior knowledge they will be assumed to have).
The background of each instructor.

Requirements List.

Prepare a list of requirements for running the tutorial. Include any supplies required for each participant, restrictions or conditions on offering the tutorial, and other information that the review committee should know in considering the proposal.
