How to navigate Gotcha?

Gotcha's interface is intuitive and easy to use. It uses image maps to help you navigate around the site. Webopedia defines an image map as:

"A single graphic image containing more than one hot spot. For example, imagine a graphic of a bowl of fruit. When you click on a banana, the system displays the number of calories in a banana and when you click on an apple, it displays the number of calories in an apple. Image maps are used extensively on the World Wide Web. Each hot spot in a Web image map takes you to a different Web page."

The Gotcha site uses two image maps extensively. The picture of folder tabs at the top of each page is one. The blue column on the left hand side of most page is the other image map. When you move your mouse over any part of the image that is clickable, your browser converts the mouse pointer to an arrow. When you click that part of the image, it takes you to the location of the information you requested. For the blue column on the left hand side you'd click the words. For the picture of folder tabs, you'd click the tab with the name of the folder you wanted to open.

    What is Gotcha?

    Gotcha is a web portal for Knowledge Management (KM). It was designed both for those who are new to KM and still exploring its fundamentals, as well as for power users looking to expand their KM resources or understanding.

    Gotcha is being built by a group of graduate students at the UC Berkeley's School of Information Management & Systems (SIMS). You can read general information about this project at our group web site. Specific information about the development of the user interface can be found at the UI group site. If you are interested in contacting the general group, email knowman@sims.berkeley.edu.
