EA Forums - Interactive Writing Exercise here be interested in writing an interactive story as Anyone ever read any collaborativebook projects like this? I really like where you took the tale, and you http://www.eaforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-10197.html
Extractions: I know we've done short stories in the Cafe, but I'm suggesting something a little more involved here. We'd rotate turns (and everyone would know when their turn was coming up). Each person would have an agreed-upon length of time (maybe three days? a week?) to write their section of the story. Each section would be a "chapter" that would be as short or lengthy as the writer felt he or she needed to develop that portion of the plot. What do you think? Is anyone interested? I'd be game, but then don't count on he to stay within the voice or style... I'd be very prone to dive into the mind of the character or some bystander observing the plot and let their angst take over. phoenixx Anything to stretch the mind... sounds interesting.

WWW:BTB -- Collaboration In Harper s Tale, players act out various characters from McCaffrey s novels (NTT,1996a); interactive Genetic Art supports the collaborative construction of http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~wwwbtb/book/chap4/4.3.html
Extractions: Collaboration is impacted by the roles that participants assume. Different kinds of roles and relationships will inherently induce different forms of collaboration. For example, the collaboration between a teacher and a student is much different than that between a salesperson and a customer. Over the WWW, a multitude of roles and relationships exist. Some of the most common relationships are: Worker - Worker: Workers collaborate to perform tasks associated with their professions. Ideally, workers partake in peer collaboration where each worker has the same power and ability to perform the work and to effect change. Manager - Worker: A manager and worker also collaborate to perform work. The collaboration, however, is supervisory rather than peer. The manager directs the actions and activities of the worker. Conversely, the worker takes direction from and performs under the supervision of the manager. Student - Student: Students collaborate to collectively construct knowledge and understanding. Ideally, students partake in peer collaboration where each student has the same power and ability to enter into discussion and to perform learning activities. Teacher - Student: Teacher and student collaborate to transfer knowledge. The teacher functions as the keeper or facilitator of the knowledge. S/he transfers the knowledge through lecture, instruction, and/or explanation. The student functions as the assimilator of knowledge. S/he captures knowledge by listening and seeks understanding and clarification through inquiry.
TKI - Template Bubble Dome This interactive website invites students to read Haunted Castle http//www.coder.com/creations/tale/tales/The_Haunted_Castle. CollaborativeStories. http://www.tki.org.nz/r/hot_topics/readandwrite_e.php
Extractions: One of the major benefits of integrating ICT into classroom programmes is the interactive nature of the Internet. Interactive technology engages learners, allows classrooms to make connections across geographical and cultural boundaries, and often adds an extra visual or audio stimulus to enhance the learning process. This Hot Topic explores how interactive sites on the Internet can be used to encourage students to engage in reading and writing. We focus on three types of interactive activities: online pick-a-path and continuous stories online publishing book backchats Pick-a-path You are on a newspaper run in a strange neighbourhood when a storm comes from nowhere. Do you take your chances in the rain and try to get home, or do you decide to sit out the storm in the abandoned house you just passed? Pick-a-path stories have long been used as teaching and learning materials to involve students in literature and encourage them to read. When read aloud, not only do pick-a-path stories exercise reasoning, comprehension, and memory, but they also involve the whole class in an enjoyable collaborative activity.

Extractions: "When I got involved I had no idea what a phenomenon Buffy was. Now I know." Amber Benson, who plays the young witch Tara Maclay in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is talking about her avid fans, who thoroughly dissect the show's storylines and enjoy forming 'warring factions' or online cliques. In the latest series, a stray bullet tragically kills Tara at least for now so message boards everywhere have been scrambled with conspiracy theories and speculations about her demise. "I'm just in awe of it. I can't believe how people become so embroiled in something. It lives because people are so involved in it," Amber says. "It becomes something beyond what it started off being." Tara may be floating in limbo somewhere, but Amber certainly is not. Apart from being an actress she's also scripted, directed and produced an independent film called Chance. More recently sties collaborated with thriller author Christopher Golden to script an online drama for BBCi called Ghosts of Albion. This isn't the first time the duo has teamed up. Both have previously co-written Buffy comics so Rob Francis, assistant producer of BBCi's Cult website (www.bbc.co.uk/cult), considered them ideal scriptwriters for its new online drama series. Ghosts of Albion is described as a 'horror/adventure' story with dark, humourous undertones. It's a five part Flash animation with voiceovers from Anthony Daniels, best known for playing C-3PO in Star Wars, Leslie Phillips, known for his role in the Carry On films, and Roy Skelton, who did voices for Rainbow's Zippy and George, and the daleks in Dr Who.

Expect - Expect - Home Page and News Notification or A Tale of Two D., Expect Scripts for Controlling InteractivePrograms, Computing A service to allow collaborative management of http://expect.nist.gov/
Extractions: This page describes Expect and several other tools that can be found at this site. First, Expect . . . Expect is a tool for automating interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc. Expect really makes this stuff trivial. Expect is also useful for testing these same applications. And by adding Tk, you can also wrap interactive applications in X11 GUIs. Expect can make easy all sorts of tasks that are prohibitively difficult with anything else. You will find that Expect is an absolutely invaluable tool - using it, you will be able to automate tasks that you've never even thought of before - and you'll be able to do this automation quickly and easily. Ok - enough of the hype. More information on Expect is available in the following documents: Download Expect for UNIX or Expect for Windows now! Exploring Expect is the book on Expect.
