Collaborative Capabilities
Collaborative Systems share information between students and teachers either synchronously
- conferencing; white board; shared simulations/visualizations; shared curricula pages; chat rooms; special resources such as voting/”raise hands” applets
or asynchronously as in Lotus Notes
- threaded discussion (i.e. mail); calendars; documents (this is just database)
All can be integrated using web export of database/Lotus Notes as a common interface (XML is particularly attractive here)
