It is based on a combination of direct experience of running a University website and academic research into corporate information management. Brief case studies will be discussed to illustrate the major themes. 1998-09-15 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p6 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p6 This talk describes efforts to manage large student numbers by using Web-based interfaces to databases. The systems developed aim to allow teaching staff easy access to up-to-date student information such as tutorial attendance and work done records, thus allowing academics to spend less time on "paper-chasing". The presentation will discuss the development-time and techniques employed in developing Web-based systems and look at problems such as meeting user requirements. 1998-09-15 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p7 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p7 This talk presents an events database that uses server-side XML to let the events content publish itself. Events submitted via either a form or free text are served to the browser in the College house-style - allowing the institution to carry the publishing workload rather than the individual or their department. 1998-09-15 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p8 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p8 This talk focusses upon the use and development of World Wide Web (WWW) interfaces to relational databases housing student information. It will demonstrate the effective use of current and emerging internet technologies such as HTML, CGI and DBMS and will look at the functions XML and SSL can play in facilitating remote administration and secure access to on-line databases to support students and tutors. The talk will highlight examples from a number of University and National projects. 1998-09-15 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p9 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p9 This talk describes emerging web technologies and suggest models for deployment. 1998-09-15 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p10 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p10 This talk describes the work of the DISinHE Centre. 1998-09-15 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p11 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-sep1998/publicity/workshop-summary.html#p11 This talk discusses the pros and cons of publishing and acceptable use policies. 1998-09-15
