Looks like a toolbox full of tools that specialize in opening locked boxes, one
of the tools being the key that unlocks that particular box. That key, in this
analogy, is the willingness of all those involved to change their minds if they
have to, in order to get to the bottom of things. Bar tha
In this context, IBIS = Issue-Based Information System.
Compendium is a great general hypertext-based mapping tool - useful for
building concept-maps and mind-maps - with the nifty feature of transclusion
(define nodes once, use them often across the maps).
It is used by many for dialogue-map
Keith,
Thanks for the info on "Wicked" problems and Compendium. What is "IBIS" in
this context?
I too am intrigued at the thought of applying LiveCode tools to such problems.
Strengths of LiveCode that seem relevant include: rapid development, relative
shallow learning curve for new users

In essence, intelligence represents the rate at which a person learns. For
instance the average elementary school child learns to read at the rate of one

Some define success in education as making sure every child has the same
