Initially a remote advisory service system under UNIX was built to supplement conventional provision by demonstrators visiting students at workstations. Porting the system to PC made it potentially available at a stroke to all PC users on the University network. The system is now used to give advice on PC applications to students of any discipline. In this way NEAT is poised to play a significant role in remote lecturing and distance learning. NEAT on YOUR system NEAT requires no unusual hardware or software provision.
Installation is straightforward and inexpensive.
System requirements have been gathered under one index. NEAT Collaborators NEAT was created by staff and students in the Telematics Group in the Department of Computer Science in Aberystwyth. An important area in the on-going development of NEAT is usability evaluation through which various types of evaluation tools and techniques are applied to each of the evaluation phases within the life cycle of the project. The evaluation encompasses a wide range of issues, including interface design, network delivery quality, and the implications of these and other variables for effective communication and collaboration. MCG Glasgow has extensive evaluation experience in these areas.
