Foil 16 Database support for courseware

From ASC Info-Comm: Courseware Recording, Storage and Retrieval ASC Year 2 Review Columbus -- July 2 98. by Marek Podgorny, David Bernholdt, Geoffrey C. Fox
Current authoring tools do not or poorly support courseware reuse
  • Problem: in 20 minutes, build, publish, and print handouts of a new module consisting of parts of five other presentations
  • Problem: Find all slides related to a particular topic in presentations delivered during last 6 months
  • Problem: Allow for search of the educational nuggets according to the standard metadata attributes
HTTP-based repositories non-portable and non-scalable beyond a handful of presentations; contents management nightmare
