“…Synchronous interaction, on the other hand, can be realized by multicast application software. Effective tools to support the one-to-many interactions include hypermedia systems [14], hypertext collaborative systems [16], and collaborative knowledge construction systems [11]. A typical synchronous tool is the conference system with shared window, which has the advantage over TV broadcasts that the feedback from the students is made easier.…”

SUMMARYThe VIEW classroom is a distance education system where the teacher and students in a distributed environment are connected by a computer network, and the lectures are supported using hypermedia and database. It often happens that distance education turns out to be a one-way broadcast from the teacher, since there is no sufficient means of interaction in real time. The basic configuration of interaction between the student and the teacher is question and answer. Consequently, it is very effective in improving the quality of education that the means of interaction in class is further extended. The VIEW classroom is intended to realize an interactive environment close to individual teaching in distance education that includes a large number of students. In the question support mechanism of the VIEW Classroom, each question is composed of three parts: (1) keyphrase, (2) location of material including figure and video, and (3) question text. The questions are categorized based on similarity in terms of (1) to (3). According to the priorities, the questions are ranked and presented to the teacher so that the most essential or urgent questions can be selected easily. The answers by the teacher constitute a database and are reused as automatic answers to the same questions issued in other classes. A large number of questions received in connection with the lecture enable the teacher to know the students learning situation in real time. Automatic answering is effective in promoting quick understanding by the students and in reducing the load of the teacher. This paper focuses on the mechanism used to select the best-suited question in the question support facility of VIEW classroom. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Syst Comp Jpn, 29 (7): 6574, 1998

“…(Stefik et al, 1987) and sentential text (Nunamaker et al 1991). Several modern systems focus on hypermedia (Streitz et al, 1994) or documents (Fowler, et al, 1994) as the underlying metaphor. However, it is natural for people to exchange information using all the above schemes -as sketches, small sentence fragments, lists, tables, links, and documents.…”

One potential result of the convergence of Internet, client server, and groupware technologies is the vertical and horizontal integration of diverse feature sets. Such integrated technology presents new management and usage challenges. This paper reports on a study focusing on the integration of collaboration technology. We first outline a working definition of integration. A research prototype of an integrated collaborative support system is introduced. The research prototype is used in a pilot study of integration. The results suggest that the integration of collaboration technology holds significant promise and challenges for organizational users.

“…These include Notes [9], a physician's notebook [1], a prototype of a biologist's notebook [10] and NoteCards [5]. If the constraints are relaxed to allow collaborative systems, other examples appear, such as the Virtual Notebook System TM [4,11], and Lotus Notes® [3]. We will not consider systems tailored to support specific tasks, such as capturing and elaborating on design rationale (e.g., [2,13]); their degree of structure and formality make them quite different from systems directed towards the easy capture, management, and transformation of personal Permission to make digital/hard copies of all or part of this material for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that the copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage, the copyright notice, the title of the publication and its date appear, and notice is given that copyright is by permission of the ACM, Inc.

This article describes the design and use of a personal electronic notebook. The findings provide a useful data point for those interested in the issue of how to design highly customizable systems for managing personal information. After a description of the notebook's interface and the usag6 practices that have co-evolved with the interface, I discuss some of the features which have made the notebook useful over the long term, and trends in the evolution of its design.
