Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Helderberg.com started out as a Virtual Village, with its roots firmly entrenched in the community newspaper from which it developed - the DistrictMail. It quickly evolved into a full blown community newspaper website with its own business model, earning its own way. Dotcoms are based on a virtual business model not seen up till now, trying to replace 'bricks and mortar' with 'clicks and mortar', making it difficult for investors to evaluate its worth. The DistrictMail community newspaper has been the heartbeat of the Helderberg, reflecting the news and views of the people of the area, for almost seventy-five years. Helderberg.com adds value and completes the circle. The success of companies depends on profitability. Bringing old and new media together, helderberg. com is the first community newspaper website to carry its own advertisers, and the first to break even and even make profit in the notoriously difficult dotcom internet arena. This paper examines how a community newspaper website is made - dissecting the internal and external makings, and shows helderberg. com is based on a structure and business model that has economic sustainability on which similar sized community newspapers, can launch or build their online enterprise. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Helderberg.com het begin as 'n Feitedorp ("Virtual Village"), stewig gewortel in die streekkoerant waaruit dit ontwikkel het - die DistriksPos. Dit het spoedig 'n volwaardige gemeenskapskoerant-webtuiste geword met 'n eie sakemodel en in staat om geld te verdien. Dotcom besighede is gebaseer op 'n virtuele sakemodel soos wat tot dusver nog nie gesien is nie. En probeer om 'klippe en pleister' met 'klikke en pleister' ('bricks and mortar' with 'clicks and mortar') te vervang met die gevolg dat dit vir beleggers moeilik is om die waarde daarvan behoorlik te evalueer. Die DistriksPos is die hartslag van die Helderberg en reflekteer die standpunte van sy inwoners vir langer as 75 jaar. Helderberg.com voltooi hierdie kringloop en voeg waarde daaraan toe. Die sukses van 'n maatskappy word beoordeel na gelang van verdienste. Deur ou en nuwe media bymekaar te bring word helderberg. com die eerste gemeenskapskoerant-webtuiste wat adverteerders dra en die eerste wat finansieel gelyk breek en selfs 'n wins wys in die berugte dotcom internetarena. In hierdie mini-tesis word ondersoek gedoen oor hoe 'n gemeenskapskoerant-webtuiste geskep word deur die interne en eksterne kwaliteite daarvan te ontleed. Dit toon hoe helderberg. com gebaseer is op strukture en 'n sakemodel wat ekonomies volhoubaar is, en waarop gemeenskapskoerante van soortgelyke grootte hul internet-bedrywe kan grond.

Acompanha: O produto educacional Site Pesquisa Acadêmica, poderá ser acessado no endereço: http://pesquisaacademica.com / A pesquisa como prática de ensino contribui para a aquisição e produção de conhecimento, para isso, o aluno precisa ser orientado a utilizar as fontes de informação como também os recursos de tecnologia da informação e comunicação. Considerando isso, esse estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver um site que apresentasse orientações básicas para o desenvolvimento de todas as etapas da pesquisa e do texto acadêmico científico, com auxílio dos recursos de tecnologia de informação e comunicação. A fundamentação teórica pautou-se na observação da produção do texto acadêmico científico como um gênero cujas peculiaridade necessitam ser observadas e orientadas. As tecnologias de informação são concebidas como instrumentos por meio dos quais se pode atribuir ao pesquisador uma certa autonomia para a construção do conhecimento científico e/ou dar suporte ao ensino por meio da pesquisa. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, o estudo dividiu-se em três fases: uma fase exploratória, uma fase de desenvolvimento do produto tecnológico e uma fase quantitativa para validação do produto. Na primeira fase, fez-se um levantamento bibliográfico sobre pesquisa e o uso de tecnologias como suporte para as atividades de pesquisa a fim de organizar o conteúdo do Site Pesquisa Acadêmica. Na segunda fase, a elaboração do produto se deu com a participação de uma equipe multidisciplinar, sendo este desenvolvido na Plataforma WordPress, que contempla HTML, PHP e banco de dados para que se adapte a todos os meios de utilização: PC, Tablet e Aparelhos Celulares. Por fim, na terceira e última fase, por meio de um estudo quantitativo, fez-se a avaliação do site em três etapas distintas: 1) validação do questionário por especialistas; 2) validação do questionário e análise do site por um estudo piloto e 3) validação final do site. O estudo quantitativo validou as fases anteriores do estudo, tendo em vista que os resultados obtidos na validação final, avaliaram o Site Pesquisa Acadêmica com o nível de satisfação muito satisfatório. A utilização do produto desenvolvido durante a coleta de dados na avaliação final permitiu inferir que o site poderá ser utilizado como suporte voltado às atividades de pesquisa por acadêmicos e professores. / Research as a teaching practice contributes to knowledge acquisition and production, and, with that in mind, students need to be guided to use sources of information as well as information and communication technology resources. Considering that, this study aimed at developing a website that showed the basic step-by-step guidelines to academic research and research paper development with the aid of communication and information technology. The theoretical underpinning was based on the observation of scientific research paper writings seen as a genre with its own peculiarities that need observation and guidance. Information Technologies are conceived as means by which researches have a certain freedom to improve scientific knowledge and /or help teaching through research. The methodological procedures were divided into three (3) steps: an exploratory one; a technological development and a quantitative step to validate the final product. The first step was a literature review about research and the use of technologies as a help for research activities in order to organize the website content to be developed. The second step was the making of the product with the participation of a multidisciplinary team. The product was developed on the Word Press Platform that has HTML, PHP and data bank so that it can be used with other gadgets such as: PC, Tablet and Cell phones. Lastly, the third step, with the use of a quantitative method of research, was the assessment of the website in three (3) distinct steps: questionnaire validation by specialists; (2) questionnaire validation and website analysis by means of a pilot study and (3) final website validation. The quantitative research has validated all the previous steps of the study given that the obtained results of the final validation have assessed the website with a “Very Satisfactory” level of satisfaction. The use of the developed product during data collection in the final assessment made it possible to infer that the website will be used as a support for research activities by both students and teachers.

Estes benefícios deveriam estar disponíveis para todas as pessoas, com o hardware e versão do software que utilizam, sua infra-estrutura de rede, linguagem nativa, cultura, localização geográfica, habilidade física e conhecimento. Estes aspectos estão relacionados tanto a questões sociais quanto tecnológicas. Considerando a diversidade de usuários e a complexidade de situações possíveis de uso da Web, buscam-se soluções para interfaces mais flexíveis, que possibilitem sua adaptação a diferentes contextos de uso. Este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem para solucionar o problema de como desenvolver interfaces de usuário flexíveis para sistemas Web, investigando como interfaces poderiam ser adaptadas a diferentes contextos de uso, considerando o conceito de normas da Semiótica Organizacional. Tal abordagem está representada em um framework, proposto neste trabalho, para apoiar designers e desenvolvedores na construção de interfaces flexíveis. Resultados obtidos na aplicação do framework em um sistema Web real, inserido no contexto da inclusão digital e acesso universal, são apresentados e discutidos nesta obra. Tais resultados são sugestivos da viabilidade da proposta e apontam para seu aprofundamento futuro / Abstract: According to W3C, the social value of the Web is in the fact that it enables communications, business and knowledge sharing opportunities. These benefits should be available for every person regardless of the person's hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, cultural aspects, geographical location, physical and mental abilities. These aspects are related both to social and technological issues. Considering the differences among users and the complexity of possible Web usage, solutions are sought for more flexible user interfaces that allow their adaptation to different use contexts. This work presents an approach to solve the problem of developing flexible user interfaces for Web systems, investigating how interfaces can be adapted to different use contexts considering the concept of norms from Organizational Semiotics. This approach is represented by a framework, proposed on this work, that may help designers and developers to build flexible Web interfaces that may be adapted according to each use context. Results gathered when the framework was applied in a real Web system related to the context of universal access and digital inclusion are presented and discussed. Such results are suggestive of the proposal's viability and point to further improvements in future research / Mestrado / Interação Humano-Computador / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

The nature of Internet and Intranet Web applications has changed from a static content-distribution medium into an interactive, dynamic medium, often used to serve multimedia from back-end object-relational databases to Web-enabled clients. Consequently, developers need to make an informed technological choice for developing software that supports a Web-based application for distributing multimedia over networks. This decision is based on several factors. Among the factors are ease of programming, richness of features, scalability, and performance. The research focuses on these key factors when distributing images from an Oracle9i database using Java Servlets, JSP, ASP, and ASP.NET as the server-side development technologies. Prototype applications are developed and tested within each technology: one for single image serving and the other for multiple image serving. A matrix of recommendations is provided to distinguish which technology, or combination of technologies, provides the best performance and development platform for image serving within the studied envirorunent. / KMBT_363 / Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in
