Collaboration can be divided into synchronous collaboration and asynchronous collaboration. |
Synchronous Collaboration |
In this model, participants always present at the same time. When you send out information, you can receive very quick feedback from others. For example, NPAC's Tango provide such service. |
Asynchronous Collaboration |
In this model, participants don't need present at the same time. When you send out information, you may not get immediate feedback, it could be delayed a few hours or a few days. Lotus provides such service. |
