Authors have noticed insufficient and inadequate use of CARNet infrastructure and propose establishing of labs for knowledge presentation that should be situated at all the faculties, according to their specific needs.
Authors reckon that, aside from systematisation of informatics staff at the University of Zagreb, support to Internet training (Training the Trainers project of CARNet, partly CROSnet), a permanent support to teachers and students should be provided also in area of knowledge presentation.
Such labs would provide support, e.g.:
- in web publishing of all teaching related materials using structured markup languages (such as MathML, ChemMl, VoiceML, SMIL..) due to the fact that such (hyper)textual forms ease the susceptibility to the content, searchability and transformability, standardising archiving of materials.
- metadata orientation in directing and markup of course materials
- implementation of virtual web oriented remote classrooms (such as TopClass in its version 3.1).
- interactive web based information kiosks located on campuses (proof-of-concept by Mr. D.Bengez, T.Klenovar, M.Marijanović, Z.Papeš), serving student community even when all the classrooms and other facilities are closed. Such kiosks would serve users universal informational, educational, library access and communicational needs.
- in using more academic-community affordable Linux contents.
