From Tango Futures: XML for Portals, Web-based Collaboration and Distance Education Rice University Tango Tutorial -- October 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
We have curricula authored in some fashion and placed on the Web -- it is shared by sharing specification of current Web Page
  • At simplest this is URL but also supported using JavaScript API and Shared Web Page Events are:
  • Shared Scrolling position
  • Shared Pointer as DHTML layer
  • Web Pages can come from databases, WebCT, Blackboard, WebWisdomDB etc.
  • I can add "brainstorming support"
We have shared client side C++ object -- the digital audio-video conferencing subsystem
We have several shared Java applets
  • One or more Chat rooms
  • Whiteboard
  • "Raised Hand" / Quiz applets for specialized teacher-student interactions
