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
