Abstract:Plymouth State College's Web Kiosk uses many creative methods to provide students and faculty the applications and queries they commonly use. This paper covers 1) experiences with ODBC and our database, 2) using JAVA to re-write some applications, 3) fun with Shockwave and other multimedia applications, and 4) VRML and where it can be implemented. Plymouth State College, like many institutions, is doing away with their character-graphic Kiosk menus. A Web Kiosk was started and many creative methods were used to continue to provide students and faculty with the applications and queries they commonly used in the old Kiosk. Everything from ODBC to JAVA to Shockwave to experimenting with VRML techniques are explored in order to provide information and greatly improve on what we previously offered. This paper shares the techniques, trials and tribulations of this effort.
