-
- IPJ is a journal and insight-sharing system. The Interactive Personal
- Journal is a tool for gleaning, applying and sharing insights.
-
- IPJ encourages this process by providing text (written by various
- authors on a wide range of subjects), questions, and a place for
- responding, and the ability to link and search the user's notes.
-
- If desired, the notes can be easily exported to disk, sent to a
- clearinghouse, and re-distributed for sharing with other IPJ users.
-
- The IPJ concept has elements of:
-
- * A conversation with a new acquaintance, where one person tells about
- some event, and this reminds the other of his or her own experience,
- and the interaction between the two generates an energy for gaining new
- understanding. Here, the interaction is between you and the author(s),
- with IPJ serving as a prompter and note-taker.
-
- * When insights are shared, the resulting thread is similar in appeal to
- that of a Bulletin Board System (BBS) forum, or a Letter to the Editor
- column, where the comments of others can be quite interesting and
- thought-provoking.
-
- IPJ is both a logical, systematic structure, and a tool and vehicle for
- spontaneous exploration and honest, insightful expression and interaction.
-
- The IPJ concept was designed within the attractive interface and powerful
- features of the authoring system, with the intention of providing for your
- ease of transition from IPJ to HyperPAD.
-
- As of this writing, the IPJNEW zipped or self-extracting file requires
- about 534k bytes of hard disk space.
