Dynasites Documents

The Various Applications of DynaSites Technology

Sources

A DynaSite supporting the OMOL research group to collect, annotate, and discuss research sources from the literature and the world wide web. Sources manages biblographic information in a form compatible with EndNote (as well as HCIBIB), maing it possible to import and export data between these applications. Sources goes beyond database support for collaboration b allowing users to rate and discuss references in the integrated discussion forum.

DynaGloss

An extensible, web-based glossary of terms, seeded with terminology from the Center for LifeLong Learning and Design (L3D). DynaGloss is integrated with all the DynaSites documents via an automatic linking mechanism that creates links from occurrences of terms to the glossary, and from the Glossary back to the occurrences. More about DynaGloss.

LivingBook

The LivingBook is an adaptation of a paper-based book manuscript into an extensible, web-based form. The LivingBook seed will be a starting point for conversations, debates and enhancements of the ideas it contains. In this sense, the LivingBook aims to blur the traditional distinction between readers and authors. We hope to engage a "Community of Interest" who will enrich the LivingBook with new ideas and new connections to related information. The current LivingBook prototype is integrated with DynaGloss and Sources.

DynaClass (Document Type)

DynaClass documents are discussion forums geared toward classroom use, with support for notification, a community space for getting to know class members, and advanced searching capabilities.

DynaBabyl (Document Type)

Dynababyl documents are open-authoring discussion forums that allow anyone to create entries (no login is required), or even to create new documents. Dynababyl documents also allow users to create links between entries as well as to arbitrary locations on the web.

The Virtual Library

An Environment for collecting, annotating and organizing links from the WWW. The Virtual Library is a joint project between L3D and New Vista High School here in Boulder, Co. New Vista teachers collect links from the WWW, annotate them, and group them in ways relevant to class assignments. The Virtual Library is intended to improve the utility of the WWW for high school coursework by providing teacher-constucted structure and guidance.

DynaBook

This Document is a web-based version of a book manuscript. The book is being written collaboratively in the scribe environment (similar to LaTex and Troff). Dynabook reads in input in the scribe language, splites the document into pieces and converts the pieces to html. The contents of Dynabook can be annotated and linked to other sites.

Note: DynaBook has been removed from this site to conserve disk space. If you are interested in seeing this Document, please email the DynaSites Web Master!

GIMMeMore

The next-generation GIMMe system, implemented with Stefanie Lindstaedt. GIMMeMore uses Dynasites to integrate several applications into a high-tech toolbelt.

On line Thesis

A large document (my PhD thesis) webified using dynasites functionality to create the individual pages. Unlike other dynasites, the pages in this document are stored as html files.

Elmo

A year-long senior class project that implemented a dynamic and evolvable information space for Local Area Network designers. Elmo did not build upon the Dynasites subsrate, but rather upon the Dynasites concept.
