Animated Specification of a PETE

Objective

Proposal ASAP is aimed at producing an animated specification, in the form of a working prototype, of a Portable Educational Tool Environment (PETE). The use of the prototype will be demonstrated by integrating it with various Action Line II components eg a Learner Expert System, an Authoring Facility, emerging from complementary DELTA projects. Thus ASAP plans to provide the basis of an open learning system platform for the DELTA programme.
A prototype common platform has been developed and demonstrated which allows portability in training applications of a distance learning system.
A prototype was made available on 26/10/92
The ASAP prototype will incorporate the following characteristics:
- it will be portable across a variety of hardware platforms both existing and future. In the first instance the prototyping will be carried out on a Sun Workstation and it will be ported onto a European platform consisting of the CHORUS distributed operating system and a suitable hardware platform.
- it will provide support for high quality audio and visual interaction with emerging technologies including CD-ROM, Interactive Video, and voice I/0.
- it will provide a sophisticated graphics environment based on the de-facto standard X-Windows system.
- it will be built on top of an object system and will be supported from below by a sophisticated AI development environment.
- it will incorporate a Hypermedia system for document preparation, user graphics and interaction with a colour PostScript compatible environment.
- it will support object oriented interaction with databases.

The ASAP architecture will support the evolution of a full Action Line II model, with the necessary communication hooks to Action Line III. Project ASAP will have input from existing ESPRIT projects Chameleon (Project no. 1228) and C0COS (Project no.956). It will also benefit from interaction with the ESPRIT II project Multiworks in the area of multimedia integrated workstations.
