This document describes the issues relating to the design and implementation of a software tool for creating and exploring arbitrary virtual audio environments (referred to hereinafter as VAEs). A prototype package called VAEBuilder has been developed with some of the functionality described in this document. VAEBuilder is implemented in Visual C++ using MFC and comes with full hypertext or printed documentation for the sources. It is a work in progress, as many of the features and ideas described in this document have yet to be fully worked through or implemented, but even in its present state it acts as an example of how the various hardware and software technologies might be integrated.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
