       teaching computational aspects of MT to non-computational students
       web-based distance learning of MT MT education and industry:
       bridging the gap between academia and the real world
       teaching pre- and post-editing skills to MT users
       teaching MT evaluation
       building modules or `toy' MT systems in the laboratory
       experiences of the evaluation of MT instruction
       the role of MT in language learning
       translation studies and MT
       etc.
