| Title: | The Electronic Kiosk: Interactive Multimedia Goes Enterprise-Wide (ID: CNC9340) | | Author(s): | Wheat | | Topics: | Client and Server, CWIS, Kiosks, Multimedia | | Origin: | CAUSE Conferences (Archives) (1993) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | This presentation will provide an overview of the University of Texas' new electronic kiosk and how it was developed. The Kiosk project is a joint effort between the University and Apple Corporation to create a series of ATM-like microcomputer workstations that provide campus-wide information services. The kiosks employ client/server and multi-media technologies to give University constituents access to a variety of information types (e.g., maps, sound, original images) without prior training or assistance. The kiosks provide University administrative offices with a cost-effective means for delivering official electronic information services to students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The presentation will focus on strategies for initiating and managing a university-wide project. | | View this resource: | |
