Dearing Report Discussion Site: http://kmi.open.ac.uk/Dearing/

D3E (Digital Document Discourse Environment) has been used to generate a web site to serve as a forum for national discussion of the Dearing Report into Higher Education. The report’s 93 recommendations to the government will be influential in shaping HE in the UK, and many bodies who submitted evidence to the committee are now responding to it.

The web site has been designed to support structured pooling and discussion of commentaries on each recommendation, so that related material can be easily browsed. The D3E Publisher’s Toolkit generates the integrated environment for browsing the recommendations and viewing/adding to commentaries.
