Foil 48 Leveraging Collaborative Tools

From Technology Supercharging Knowledge: The Next Generation of Learning Communities 8th Annual Scholarship and Community Conference University of Houston (Hilton Hotel) -- October 7 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
At K-14 education level, dominant emphasis is "building learning communities" and tools to support collaborative learning
  • Fully interactive; semi-interactive (as in MOO model) or possibly asynchronous
  • Working through NCSA Alliance with NSF CILT center
  • 2.5D Chat is perhaps a nice tool here
Web collaboration is central to many other applications
Thus there are many leverage points
  • Synchronous teaching a good place for early deployment of collaborative tools as relatively structured and so less sensitive to immaturity of systems
