In the next five years, Web-based computing will likely bring important changes in how students study, how scholars do research, and how college information-technology departments operate.

Our mission is developing next generation office productivity tools that take full advantage of collaboration over the internet. The arrival of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) gives us the power and the moment to redesign the office experience. We can now combine the best of the old off-line desktop with the new possibilities of web-based software, where users work anywhere, any time, on any connected computer. This gives us an opportunity to fundamentally reshape the way office tools look and feel. We can adapt them to the modern way of working, where enterprise success depends on good collaboration in virtual teams that spread geographically and across organizational lines. Our first product TextFlow, already available in beta, embodies our vision: The office experience, redesigned for flow. Nordic River Software AB is a privately held company, located by the banks of the Umea river in northern Sweden.

The purpose of this wiki is to explore, explain and support non-traditional modes of publishing one's creations. In most cases, existing work and creations by others, using these same technologies, can also be used to support teaching and learning. These technologies fall under the broad definition of the "Read-Write-Web" or Web 2.0. There are hundreds of sites and services where you can create, modify and upload your own content, whatever it may be. (Designed for Connecticut College faculty and students.)

This blog is a companion piece to the Web 2.0 Expo run on May 14, 2007 at Wesleyan. At the expo we demonstrated various Web 2.0 technologies in action. As a resource for continued engagement, presenters in each of the areas created reference pages on this blog. The technologies covered include: Blogs, RSS feeds and readers, Wikis, Podcasting, Social bookmarking, Web-based Office Apps, Mash-ups, Content Management.
