Seminar Viewer

Need

With the volume of information presented in each Seminar the need arose for any interested party to have a rapid way to access that information in a meaningful fashion on their own. The information in previous Seminars needed to be presented in such a way as to allow users who had already seen the Seminar an easy way to review what bits they found interesting, while still retaining the ability for brand new users to “get the gist” and “catch up” with previous seminars.

Idea

Resilient Cognitive Solutions’ Seminar Viewer presents clips from each Seminar indexed both as the Seminar they came from, the CSE topics they cover, and the generic problem they address. Users can highlight clips based on these three indexes individually, or any combination of seminar, topic, and problem – seeing not only the clips that match the selected criteria, but seeing which clips are similar (and why) at a glance.

Benefit

Users who know what topics they are interested in are free to select those and see a list of Seminar clips corresponding to those topics, while viewers who just want to explore the space have a meaningful frame of reference to see what other clips are “just like the one I just watched”, or exist in a completely different cognitive space, forming a work-centered indexing mechanism.
