The COG Scrapbook

Published: 02 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Creating truly dynamic documents from disparate components is not an easy process, especially for untrained end users. Existing packages such as Adobe InDesign or Quark XPress are designed for graphic-arts professionals and even these are not optimised for the process of integrating disparate components. The 'COG Scrapbook' builds on our PDF-based Component Object Graphics (COGs) technology to create a radically new 'drag and drop' software approach to creating dynamic documents for use in educational environments.The initial focus of the COG Scrapbook is to enable groups of people to collaboratively create material ranging from smaller-sized (e.g. A4) personal scrapbooks through to large (e.g. A0) posters. Some examples scenarios where the technology could be utilized are:
university students producing posters for class assignments;
school teachers and students jointly creating classroom wall displays;
creation of a scrapbook of annotated digital photographs resulting from school field trips and museum visits
.The poster illustrating the present state of this work will itself have been constructed using COG Scrapbook software.
