Summer Workshops 2002

The first annual ISCID Online Summer Workshop has come to a close. In order to give prospective participants a sense of what they get in an ISCID Workshop, we have included the transcripts to several chat sessions and presented a sample reading list. You can also view the structure of the workshop, broken down into a "Reading Week" and an "Interactive Week", below.
