>the Deaf Symposium. The program consisted of three plenary addresses, 42
>formal presentations, 25 poster sessions, a recommendation report

>Plenary, Concurrent and Poster Session Resources Available on Web Site

>A major goal of the Symposium was to make the information presented at the
>Symposium available on the Symposium Web Site for wide
>dissemination.   For each presentation at the Symposium, it is possible to
>read the presentation or poster summary and abstract.  It is also possible
>to read a complete paper submitted by the presenters, to view the
>presentation media, such as PowerPoint, read the captions generated during
>each presentation, see a photograph of the presenter(s) and actually view
>a captioned video presentation of each plenary and concurrent
>session!  The video streaming is best viewed on a PC with Microsoft
>MediaPlayer and RealPlayer.
>
>You can review the plenary, concurrent and poster session titles and
>authors online at:

>Contribute to Recommendation Report
>
>One of the primary goals of the Symposium is to generate a Recommendations
>Report regarding instructional technology that will detail specific
>recommendations to governmental, educational, commercial and non-profit
>organizations serving deaf and hard of hearing students. The issues
>identified by this process will also guide the planning of future
>Instructional Technology Symposia. The Report will contain the collective
>recommendations contributed by Symposium participants at the Symposium's
>closing session on June 27, 2003. You can download, in PDF format, the
>Symposium Program and Abstract books.  Contribute to the Recommendation
>Report by submitting your ideas
