Seven ways to make a hypertext project fail

Hypertext is an exciting concept, but designing and developing hypertext applications of practical scale is hard. To make a project feasible and successful 'hypertext engineers' must overcome the following problems: (1) developing realistic expectations in the face of hypertext hype; (2) assembling a multidisciplinary project team; (3) establishing and following design guidelines; (4) dealing with installed base constraints; (5) obtaining usable source files; (6) finding appropriate software technology and methods; and (7) overcoming legal uncertainties about intellectual property concerns

The iSchool Review SIE

The interdisciplinary nature of iSchools lends itself well to outstanding work but the best pieces, specifically by graduate students in professional degree programs, often go unnoticed. At present, there is no platform to showcase the best professional projects coming out of iSchools.

Authoring, Designing, and Delivering Ebooks: A Research and Practice Agenda

Our intent in this workshop is to contrast typical approaches for making and using ebooks with a different tack taken with a collaboratively authored textbook that has been adopted by numerous ISchools. We can use this case study to motivate an agenda for research and development in the ISchools that would facilitate the creation and adoption of other ebooks guided by best practices in the selection, organization, and presentation of information in ebook formats.ye

Enhancing collaboration and community for the discipline of organizing

The overall purpose of this workshop is to strengthen the existing collaboration and community among instructors and schools using The Discipline of Organizing (Glushko 2015), to promote further innovation in digital publishing, and to enhance iSchool teaching practices through experimentation with new models of collaborative courses. Information about participation, planning materials, presentations, and follow-up artifacts for the workshop are at disciplineoforganizing.org.
