WebWisdom™ 2000 is an integrated set of tools supporting academic and corporate courseware storage and management. The system can be used as a deployment engine for all network-based teaching and training material delivery project, as well as the database backend for educational portals. Special high-performance features of the system make it particularly useful as a back-end for Interactive Synchronous Distance Learning systems, where hundreds of concurrent accesses to the courseware repository create transaction load for which conventional systems don't provide sufficient performance.

WebWisdom™ 2000 directly addresses the following information management problems in computer-supported educational systems:

  • Training department of a corporation or a college has to store, manage, continuously update, and re-use hundreds of classes or presentations.
  • A corporation or university has to ensure proper storage, management, and preservation of the intellectual resources created by its mobile employees or faculty.
  • A team of instructors has to work together on a set of complex, interwoven presentations, having secure but instantaneous access to the work of other team members, for perusal or reuse.
  • A team of instructors has to provide a set of complex presentations that encompass different media types, including digital audio and video, add-ons, references, and glossaries, and keep all the material in database for easy management, update, and extension.
  • A company or a university needs to deploy large sets of educational material on the Web in a way that will ensure easy modifications and updates.
  • A company or a university seeks a way to separate "presentation layer" of the educational material from the "raw data" such as foils, so that various authors and contributors can control visual impact while system administrators can manage the contents independently.
  • An educational portal provider seeks a set of tools that will allow him consistent, uniform contents management, while supporting diverse and uncorrelated demands of the customers related to the visual presentation layer.
  • An educational portal provider seeks a set of tools that will allow him to enable his customers to securely and reliably modify the contents of their database hosted by the provider.
  • A provider of human-led Internet based instruction seeks a web-linked database back-end that will provide scalable performance and adequate response time that does not depend on the number of concurrent users.
  • A content provider seeks a tool that will enable completely automated import of the courseware into a database backend.
  • A content provider seeks a system that will enable to him to provide his contents from a database but also from a flat file on user's hard drive or from a CD-ROM, while the content's presentation layer and retrieval methodology remain unchanged.
  • A content provider seeks a database back-end system that will allow him logical-level backups and exports to support fast and reliable data transfers between multiple databases.
  • An academic or corporate courseware author seeks a tool that will allow him to quickly compose new presentations from existing material.
  • An Internet publisher of educational contents seeks a system enabling search engines using standard set of IMS-approved metadata to provide "intelligent" search capability.
  • An Internet publisher seeks an XML-compliant language to easily describe content's presentation layer and automatically retrieve the contents from either the database or XML- compliant presentation files.
  • A publisher seeks a tool that will allow him to easily implement his own XML-compliant language, or extend the existing one, while benefiting from uniform database storage and efficient retrieval mechanisms.
The list above is still incomplete in comparison to the actual capabilities of the WebWisdom™ 2000 system. Implemented in industrial-strength Java, our multiplatform courseware management and portal deployment engine is today the only solution of this kind on the market.
