At K-14 education level, dominant emphasis is "building learning communities" and tools to support collaborative learning
-
Fully interactive; semi-interactive (as in MOO model) or possibly asynchronous
-
Working through NCSA Alliance with NSF CILT center
-
2.5D Chat is perhaps a nice tool here

|
Web collaboration is central to many other applications
|
Thus there are many leverage points
-
Synchronous teaching a good place for early deployment of collaborative tools as relatively structured and so less sensitive to immaturity of systems
