KNOWLEDGE TREE

     Developed by Dr Peter Davies and Dr Tim Brailsford University of
     Nottingham under ITTI

     The Knowledge Tree is an on-line question-asking-and-answering
     system that combines elements of a threaded Usenet style bulletin
     board with database functionality. Students can ask new
     questions, as well as see and respond to each others questions,
     and browse through a hypermedia database of past questions.
     These questions are routed to subject experts, and the 'official'
     answers are then stored in the database.  This is intended as a
     learning support system for students in any subject area, but it
     has many other potential uses - such as technical user support.
