10. 10 Exercises 13 days with Z0 4 days with Z0 + alpha_s Identifying Particles or Hands on CERN

11. 11 Exercises New: LHC exercises HYPATIA 10 events, form for results Local discussion Positive feedback LHC covered in talks Exercises on CD and web Translation into 10 languages

12. 12 Video session Video session: Central connecting element 3 – 6 institutes 90 min (16:30 – 18:00) Presentation by moderators, global combination, discussion, Q&A, quiz No teachers video sessions 9 moderators (4 sessions each), introduction by Peter Steinbach/CERN

13. 13 Video session Great for students if technically working and lively strict admission procedure after successful test with final equipment at final place hardware recommendations EVO tests: 2. – 10.2. (52 institutes passed, 26 failed) additional tests with better equipment: 2. – 5.3. no exclusions necessary, but few institutes retreated If not:

14. 14 Video session EVO tests: large workload Continuing support ? Marek and Knut leaving CERN EVO-workshop for moderators?

15. 15 Feedback +organisation +distribution of information +preparation of material +CD -Video/audio transmission -CERN presentations too long -Lenghty discussion of results -Video session too long
