What is TraveLite?

TraveLite is a web-based system that allows users to create personalized travel guides. Users choose the destination(s) of their choice, and then create a travel guide by browsing through the content and altering the guidebook to match their needs. Users can mix destination information, and add or delete information based on category metadata.

Who is TraveLite?
 

TraveLite was developed as the final project (a requirement of graduation for a Master of Information Management & Systems degree) for Jennifer English, Kim Garrett & Sacha Pearson. Please email us with any comments, questions or suggestions: travelite@sims.berkeley.edu

Prototype

Check out our prototype! To run the prototype, use Internet Explorer v5 or better, follow the link, and have fun.

Please note that we only have actual content for parts ofCalifornia and Nevada. Furthermore, we have changed some of the content, so we would not really recommend relying on any of it for actual travel (and please do not assess Lonely Planet's content based on what you find here)!

About this Site

A note about the organization of this site: This project is the cumulative effort of a year's worth of work by the TraveLite team. We have grouped the project documentation into four categories, mirroring our development process: concept, needs assessment, design, and evaluation. In cases where project documentation was produced as part of a larger course project, we have summarized that work here and refer the reader to the greater report.

This site is not in any way affiliated with the sites located at www.travelite.org or www.travelite.com.
