Collaborative Capabilities

• 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
