Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: The Interactive Web


1
The Interactive Web
  • How do we use the WEB
  • for Group Collaboration

2
Some Tools
  • WEB CHAT
  • CuSeeMe
  • Whiteboarding
  • Internet phone - Vocal tec, Netscape etc.

3
WEB Chat
  • Chat group augmented for WWW
  • Can include URLS in conversation, hence the chat
    session becomes multimedia enhanced
  • Some problems though ...
  • Current technology keeps updating a large HTML
    file, which the user keeps reloading
  • Gets slower as more messages are added

4
CuSeeMe et al.
  • Interactive Video conferencing
  • Up to 8 sessions
  • Needs a reflector site to connect
  • Bilateral conversations can go directly to the
    other party
  • Several commercial videoconferencing systems
    coming....

5
Internet Phone
  • Add Phone capabilities to your browser (i.e.
    ATLAS)
  • 2 Users can talk directly
  • Problems
  • audio quality (needs Pentium for good quality)
  • need to prearrange call
  • Regulatory??

6
Whiteboarding
  • Allows 2 or more users to share the same screen.
    Each user can post text or multimedia info to the
    screen so it can be shared by all

7
GDSS
  • Group Decision Support Systems
  • Use the WWW to implement a distributed GDSS
  • Users can brainstorm, rank ideas, rate ideas,
    sort ideas, comment on ideas etc.
  • Each user sees input of all other users

8
Conclusion
  • Many developments in different areas
  • Frames help enormously, since you can have one
    frame that is shared by all and another that is
    local
  • Good paper / project material
