(European analog of FiE) We just missed theadline for it, but it still may
be relevant for you to attend.

More conferences with open deadlines are :

Learning On Line, USA, June (very relevant, but I am just not sure about
its quality, looks like "yet another...") I will not be able to attend
because it intersects with Hypertext'98 in Pittsburgh. But for you or
Phil, it may be quite relevant place to meet people -

"New Information an Communication Technologies applied to Education",
France, Autumn 1998 (I am on the Program Committee)

AACE's ICCE'98 in Beijing, Autumn 1998 (Very relevant, Theme: "Global
Education on the Net"... and especially if you are interested to see
Beijing:). Myself I am still thinking where to get the money.
