    corruption.
  • But it all runs on their server.

7
Logos
  • Bible study software with the intended goal of
    maximizing a bible study session
  • Three different types of task-oriented workspaces
  • Devotional short sessions
  • Bible study longer sessions
  • Original language longer more in-depth study

8
Logos Devotional Workspace
  • Devotional starting location
  • Primary bible primary document
  • Cross reference specialized search
  • Bible target resulting location
  • User notes generic white board area

9

    primary bible will bring up a definition in a
    different window

    some authority

  • Bible target hot spots in the original
    language text present information here
  • Additional language possible translations
  • Language dictionary translation tool
  • Lexicon bible dictionary more detailed
    information, activated by links in the original
    document

11
NCEF
  • Discusses what needs to be thought about when
    designing a school
  • Two main types of educational workspaces
  • Classroom-based workspace
  • Students migrate from room to room
  • Movement towards activity-based project centered
    learning
  • Office-based workspace
  • Teachers migrate from room to room and thus need
    a home base

12
Classroom-based Workspace
  • Should be designed for an individual teacher or a
    shared place for many teachers
  • Should include wiring for intercom, telephone and
    computer
  • Should have space for private work and individual
    meetings

13
Office-based Workspace
  • Components
  • Private office
  • One-on-one meetings
  • Individual work
  • Teacher workroom with workstation
  • Serves as a focal point for teams or clusters
  • Breakout room ? not defined
  • Lounge
  • More relaxed atmosphere where work can be done

14
Implications for Persistence
  • Classroom-based workspaces
  • Resources of a room are under the control of an
    individual teacher
  • There is a set of global data that is accessible
    in the room and other data that must be shared by
    students

15
Implications for Persistence
  • Office-based workspace
  • Data must be accessible to a teacher from many
    different locations. It must either be carried
    on them or accessible remotely
  • Each room must change settings for the individual
    needs of the subject being taught

16
Interesting Ideas From OpenText
  • Different categories of collaborative software
  • Data storage
  • Data retrieval
  • Personnel coordination and management
  • Integration of Web and Pre-installed software

17
Interesting Ideas From OpenAir
  • Tools for analyzing project progress?? I think
  • Vague description of product

18
Interesting Ideas From Logos
  • Different windows for primary and secondary
    document
  • Window for taking notes on a document
  • Window for authors commentary
  • Session type defined by time duration and level
    of interaction with the material

19
Interesting Ideas From NFEC
  • What we want to achieve with a persistent
    workspace depends on the physical environment
    that users are in
  • It would be beneficial for us to categorize the
    different situations we expect to deal with and
    extract the important characteristics that we
    must deal with
