An education-oriented workshop for college faculty in the atmospheric and related sciences was held in Boulder, Colorado, during June 1997 by three programs of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. The objective of this workshop was to provide faculty with hands-on training in the use of Web-based instructional methods for specific application to the teaching of satellite remote sensing in their subject areas. More than 150 faculty and associated scientists participated, and postworkshop evaluation showed it to have been a very successful integration of information and activities related to computer-based instruction, educational principles, and scientific lectures.

This article summarizes the first Northeast Regional Unidata Users' Workshop, held 17-19 August 1993 at the State University of New York College at Brockport. The goal of the workshop was to provide a forum where users could exchange ideas and update their understanding of Unidata systems and potential applications to scientific instruction and research. Several presentations documented the successful integration of interactive computer technology into classroom and laboratory environments. Laboratory sessions stressed applications of the latest versions of the Unidata MclDAS, GEMPAK, and WXP analysis and display packages. The positive response of participants indicates that a regional workshop is a useful complement to national Unidata users' meetings.
