AWESOME Poster & Demo
We presented a poster and a demo on the JISC stall during the lunch slot today. Melissa gave an overview of the project and directed people to the demo given by Kathrin and Sirisha who very busy indeed but did a fantastic job. People were really interested in AWESOME, some asked for the source code, others gave us potential domains for extension. Good links were made with a number of JISC projects/groups, incl: HELMET, SkillClouds, APT-STAIRS, Southampton (several JISC projects there). We received very positive feedback from Graham Atwell who is on a large EU project on semantic wikis for organisational learning and found our system way ahead existing EU projects (we knew this was the case but it was good to get it confirmed). Graham pointed out that Karlsruhe (the semantic media wiki people) should see what a great job we have done to make a *usable* semantic wiki tool. Having the flexible development model and the constant feedback from users are paying off. But we know there is a lot to improve on the usability side...
