Workshop Descriptions
Instructional Software in Physical Education
Limited to 20 Participants
Are you being asked to address standards in your physical education classes?
Do you wonder how to get students to accomplish the cognitive concepts
embedded in the standards? Then, it is time to turn to instructional
software. During this workshop, we will explore many of the instructional
programs on the market. We will also discuss several strategies for
effectively using instructional software in a physical education setting.
Handheld Computer for Physical Education
Limited to 20 Participants
Do you have a handheld computer? Are you thinking about purchasing a
handheld computers? Do you wonder how you can use one to be more
efficient in physical education? Then, this workshop is for you! We
will explore grading, fitness reporting, locker, inventory, and other data
recording uses. We will also take a look at putting video clips on your
handheld as an instructional resource for students, as well as ways that
students can use handheld computers in physical education.
Video Analysis: Tools and Resources for Coaches and
Athletes
Limited to 20 Participants
Since most of the information we receive is through our eyes, visual
feedback is a critical part of learning a new skill or providing feedback
for both advanced and novice athletes. Video analysis has also become
crucial in coaching for both individual and team sports. Simulators such as
the MAT-T 3-D Golf Simulator provide an instantaneous 3-D image of the
athlete’s swing. Such analysis tools have revolutionized traditional video
analysis and will pave the way for future coaching methods. This workshop
will provide hand on opportunities to explore various video analysis tools
and work with experts in the field.
Virtual Coaching: A New Approach to Athlete
Development Through Collecting, Storing, Retrieving and Effective
Utilization of Visual Databases Over Distance
Limited to 20 Participants
With the increase in the globalization of sport, so is the demand for
sharing feedback over distance. Expert feedback, whether synchronous or
asynchronous can be a vital asset to an athletes training, particularly
those in rural areas. This workshop provides the opportunity to experience
new and innovative ways of sharing resources, feedback techniques and video
via synchronous distance delivery using the World Wide Web, ACCESS grid and
wireless technologies.
Motion Analysis Technology by
TaylorMade (MATT)
Limited to 8 Participants
The Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade (MATT) system is a
revolutionary advancement in club fitting and golf instruction. It marries
TaylorMade Golf’s advanced knowledge of golf equipment design and player
performance assessment with the leading motion capture, modeling and
analysis technology developed by Motion Reality Inc.
The MATT system is also a significant innovation in motion capture
technology as it is perhaps the first sports-specific motion-capture system
designed to be easy to use for both the subject and the operator.
This workshop will consist of a demonstration of the MATT systems
capabilities for club fitting and golf instruction. The entire procedure of
preparing a subject, collecting swing data, presenting a club
recommendation, and using the system for swing analysis and/or instruction
will be demonstrated. System capabilities, including ball launch parameter
measurement, club and player movement tracking and playback, 3D animation
based teaching tools and real-time motion capture will be demonstrated and
their applications in club fitting and golf instruction will be discussed.

ICT 4U: Information and Communications Technology for Coaches
Limited to 20 Participants
This workshop is designed for coaches. The aim is to share
developments in information and communications technology (ICT) that
can support coaches in their work with athletes. It is a workshop
for coaches who are keen to continue with their own development as
learners.
