What's New in 2006

In October, we are working on two exciting collaborations:

• with the Oral History Program of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. We are working together to use Testimony Software as the interface to the next version of their Project Jukebox (http://uaf-db.uaf.edu/jukebox/PJWeb/pjhome.htm); and
• with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the development of our Melanoma Journey Planner, a tool to assist long-term cancer sufferers manage their own health care. This collaboration also involves Cancer Voices NSW, the peak body representing cancer sufferers in NSW, and the Sydney Melanoma Unit at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Keep looking here for more details about this very exciting project.

We have launched the Australian Centre for Oral History (http://www.acoh.com.au) at the International Oral History Conference, held in Sydney in July. The launch was well attended and we received many enquiries about our services and Testimony Software in particular. [More info]

we also presented a paper at the International Oral History Conference on Engaging Digital Publishing and Testimony Software [Download paper in PDF]

We continue to work with the Centre for Health Informatics at the University of New South Wales where we are trying to develop R&D in consumer health informatics.

We reviewed the online Directory of Breast Cancer Treatment and Services [Go To Web Site] for the Breast Cancer Action Group and the Breast Cancer Institute. This activity led to Turtle Lane Studios being contracted to assist the Breast Cancer Institute to develop a requirements specification and brief for a new version of this very successful directory. One of the main aims of the new directory is to encompass other cancers and roll it out across Australia.

We delivered the museum kiosk for the Hyde Park Barracks Museum showcasing their 14,000 convict records.

We are working with Giampaolo Pertosi to launch Storykeepers, a new initiative of the Australian Centre for Oral History [Go to Web Site]

We will also continue to develop more TESTIMONY SOFTWARE products, through attendonline. Go to attendonline.com for more specific detail.

We have also been working on improving our TESTIMONY SOFTWARE application, developing a web-based browser so narrative content can be hosted on a web server, improving the authoring tool and some bug fixes in the browser. [Go to TESTIMONY SOFTWARE page].
