Foil 23 Collaborative Capabilities

From Web Based Education and Training -- Lets Go for It! Dynamics of the Networked Academy Mississippi State Univ. -- September 9-11 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Collaborative Systems share information between participants -- in education, these are students and teachers either synchronously
  • conferencing; white board; shared simulations/visualizations; shared curricula pages; chat rooms; special resources such as meeting control/voting/"raise hands" applets
or asynchronously as in Lotus Notes
  • threaded discussion (i.e. mail); calendars; documents (this is just database)
  • or as in MOO's, and Bulletin Boards
Note can record all sessions in database, so synchronous/collaborative interactions can be replayed asynchronously
