Software

I've set up a little bit of sample software (not too much) to help illustrate some issues I'm discussing and to show some of the things that my students and I are working on. Most of this software was thrown together quickly, and is unlikely to regularly work reliably.

• A simple HTML editor intended to be used in my discussion of HTML authoring.
• A simple HTML shorthand system, which may be used in my discussion of HTML authoring or my discussion of class webs (or nowhere).
• A custom search engine used to illustrate some strengths and weaknesses of searching. This may be used in my discussion of class webs.
• A simple restricted access system (containing similar pages to those in this workshop web). This may be used in my discussion of class webs or advanced web features. This is based on work by one of my students to create a logging system for the web (so that we can keep track of how students use our course webs). [Yes, the system permits anonymous use.]
• A way to allow students to submit links that are then automatically added to the web.
• A rough annotation system that my students are developing.
