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.
