Gordon Pask's Conversational Architecture: THOUGHTSTICKER
http://www.pangaro.com/published/thstr-and-me.html
http://www.pangaro.com/THSTR-Brochure/THSTR-Brochure.html
This software is still ahead of today's state-of-the-art because it combined
multimedia browsers with a fine-grained model of the user's cognitive state
in order to deliver an effective, one-to-one learning experience. It was
incorporated into a large-scale training environment for a nuclear power
utility, where it was connected to an expert system that diagnosed operator
behavior and created personalized training for plant operators during
emergencies.
... "Browsers Today: They may be ubiquitous, multi-media rich and
standardized everywhere, but (I repeat) today's browsers do not have what
Pask's entailments can bring to them: an organizing principle and the
fine-grained, adaptive nature of a conversation. Browsers will continue to
move to a meaning of "personalization" far closer to what Pask presaged and
designed a substrate for, long before we knew we needed it. Commercial
technology for authoring and annotation, now the focus of an emerging Web
standard called WEBDav, similarly lacks the catalytic functions of
THOUGHTSTICKER. Commercial technologies will continue to evolve and will
move, I feel certain, toward what Conversation Theory could give them
now."...
