Overview

The XML Sum­mer School offers a learn­ing exper­i­ence that goes way bey­ond a tra­di­tional train­ing course, com­bin­ing the chance to learn from some of the world’s most renowned XML experts whilst gain­ing a unique insight into what it’s like to be a stu­dent at one of our greatest Universities.

Teach­ing at the Uni­ver­sity of Oxford is based on the tutorial sys­tem, where stu­dents com­bine formal lec­tures with time spent in small groups tutored by experts in their chosen sub­jects. The XML Sum­mer School fol­lows this model and aims to provide del­eg­ates with a unique oppor­tun­ity to sample the life of an Oxford undergraduate.

Each course at the XML Sum­mer School is care­fully designed as a set of classes that com­bine a lec­ture with a tutorial ses­sion that gives each del­eg­ate an oppor­tun­ity to test their know­ledge and to learn even more through inter­ac­tion with both the lec­tur­ers and the other delegates.

And the learn­ing exper­i­ence doesn’t stop at the lec­ture room door, as lec­tur­ers and del­eg­ates all enjoy the same pro­gramme of even­ing social activ­it­ies — col­lege din­ners, punt­ing on the river, and walk­ing tours of the his­toric pubs of Oxford.
