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

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 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 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. – (52 institutes passed, 26 failed) additional tests with better equipment: 2. – 5.3. no exclusions necessary, but few institutes retreated If not:

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

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
