180801 - Follow up ref SDS 10 BP3K, ref SDS 6 A13H.
180802 -
180803 - Submitted ref DIP 1 0001 to Jack Park expressing regret we have not
180804 - had more time to keep in touch.  Understand from John Deneen that Jack
180805 - has assembled a core group of technology people to expedite work on
180806 - Nexist.  Looking forward to hearing about Nexist implementation for
180807 - education discussed during the meeting on 010605, ref SDS 8 AN9H, and
180808 - in relation to planning in Jack's paper reviewed on 010223.

181201 - Received ref DRP 1 0001 from Jack explaining.....
181202 -
181203 -     Right now, the servlet necessary to allow Nexist to work on the
181204 -     Web is being a real hoot to program: not nearly as simple as I
181205 -     first thought it would be.  It only works, sortof, and 'sortof' is
181206 -     not good enough. ref DRP 1 0001
181208 -      ..
181209 -     Nexist is an Applet-Servlet system; a lightweight Java Applet is
181210 -     downloaded from the web page and it logs into a Servlet that then
181211 -     couples the Applet to Nexist itself. Servlets are funny things:
181212 -     they behave like one-shot affairs. You make a request, and the
181213 -     servlet makes a response.  If Nexist can't get the response back
181214 -     to the servlet in time, the response dies.  I found a way to
181215 -     program around that and am now testing it. ref DRP 1 5V6F
181217 -  ..
181218 - Jack says....
181219 -
181220 -     Nexist in the classroom is not a Web affair; Nexist works fine
181221 -     when you are just using Nexist applications on an intranet talking
181222 -     to a Nexist server elsewhere on the same intranet. ref DRP 1 LU6L
181223 -
181224 -           What does Nexist "work fine" for doing that aids learning?
181226 -            ..
181227 -           For example, SDS "works fine" for thinking through writing,
181228 -           which strengthens literacy, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1
181229 -           3742 and on 010614, ref SDS 9 HD6O,  An example is this
181230 -           record.  Details of implementation for improving memory are
181231 -           set out in the record on 001219. ref SDS 3 FO5M   Memory is
181232 -           a key factor in learning and reasoning, reported on 900319.
181233 -           ref SDS 1 1323
181235 -            ..
181236 -           Does Nexist do this as well, or does it do something
181237 -           different and/or additionally that aids learning?
181238 - ..
181239 - Jack continues....
181240 -
181241 -     So, Nexist will, very soon now, see light in the classroom.
181242 -     As I understand things (given that my son is in the class that
181243 -     will use Nexist), they are presently using Jeff Conklin's QuestMap
181244 -     and learning how to do facilitated IBIS discussions.  When one
181245 -     classroom wants to collaborate in discussion with classrooms
181246 -     elsewhere, then we will need Web capability. ref DRP 1 DX7G
181247 -
181248 -           What does QuestMap do to aid learning, or otherwise improve
181249 -           cognitive processes for organizing, analysing, aligning,
181250 -           summarizing information, and getting feedback to refine
181251 -           understandings?
181253 -            ..
181254 -           Is it possible to observe students using QuestMap and/or
181255 -           some effort to apply IBIS at school, is this performed in a
181256 -           computer lab?
181258 -            ..
181259 -           The record on 010517 reports there is no evident record
181260 -           where IBIS has been deployed to develop work product
181261 -           demonstrating increased productivity for a student,
181262 -           executive, engineer, etc. ref SDS 7 QY7N  The record on
181263 -           000218 reports finding IBIS is to rigid for improving daily
181264 -           management practice. ref SDS 2 0785  This was supported by
181265 -           Gary Johnson on 001220. ref SDS 4 RD9N
181267 -            ..
181268 -           Eric Armstrong reported that Conklin has lost confidence in
181269 -           IBIS. ref SDS 7 RN4H  It would be particularly helpful to
181270 -           see Jeff's daily work product showing how often he uses
181271 -           IBIS for calls, meetings, email, and other knowledge work
181272 -           he does regularly.
