eNRICH comprises two main components viz. Desk Manager User Interface (DMUI) and Community Browser User Interface (CBUI)which lend reusability to the entire solution framework.
DMUI, the back end interface,acts as Site Manager, Content Publisher, Content Organiser & Analyser (for researchers). The Community Browser, the front end on the other hand faithfully displays what it receives from DMUI. It also has its own autonomous spaces for community people to post content & interact among each other.
Desk Manager User Interface (DMUI) – This interface, also called the Desk Manager or DMUI for short is the interface that will be used by the Manager of the eNRICH site as well as by researchers. This is a browser-based site administration and analysis tool for Managers and researchers. The Manager will use the Desk Manager to:
Specify the knowledge resources and services that should be provided to the community users on the Community Browser site.
Interact with Community members to render the Community Browser more relevant and useful to them.
Identify issues for opinion poll, message of the day etc.
Moderate the contents and messages uploaded by community users so as to make them more authentic and relevant.
Generally administer the site.
Community Browser User Interface (CBUI) – This interface, also called Community Browser or CBUI is the interface that will be used by the community members. Using this interface, community members will be able to
Access various knowledge and services made available locally and/or on the Internet (if the site is connected to the Internet).
Post announcements and public messages such as local meetings, bartering, auctions etc. in the electronic bulletin board for other members to see and respond.
Upload content in the local database on community specific information.
Express their views on important community issues and also view other people’s opinion .
Communicate with their dear and distant ones through e-mail, chat, instant messaging services etc.
Learn through multiple media
Communicate their information and communication needs, suggestions, complaints etc. to the manager
Put together the DMUI-CBUI duo acts as a powerful framework allowing users to see the content that is most relevant & in a manner that is most suitable to them.
