3. CIMEL project goals
To design a multimedia framework for constructive, collaborative, inquiry-based learning, with multiple tracks.

4. Definitions
Constructive learning goes beyond learning by receiving knowledge, to learning by building systems, with immediate, visual feedback.
Collaborative learning encourages students to interact with instructors and librarians, via both live links and remote-controlled "show me" sessions or by reviewing a multimedia FAQ of recorded "show me" sessions .

5. More definitions
Inquiry-based learning guides the student into pursuing exploratory research in a community of students and scholars.
Multiple tracks means that we want deliver content for students at different levels, for introductory and upper level computer science courses, and with different learning styles.

6. Break-out groups: Each will discuss a set of questions.
Appoint someone to take notes.
Each group gets a laptop.
