OWL Technology Overview

The CCD OWL is a web-based, interactive service that incorporates a number of different technologies. During its first serveral years of operation the OWL was housed on a Macintosh server. However, the old gal, as we fondly referred to the server, came to an untimely end.

As of the summer of 2004, the OWL resides on a Unix server at CCCOnline, our partner institution. This move required extensive reengineering of the OWL, and as a result we expect a period of debugging throughout the summer of 2004.

Below is a description of some of the current underlying technology used for the CCD OWL.

Forms

Clickable Graphics or ImageMaps

Counters, Macros, Random Text Insertion

The OWL is an extension of the Community College of Denver Writing Center.
