Project to develop mark-up / annotation tools that are web based and collaborative.

 

"A "whiteboard culture" helps teams collaborate, improves the development and testing process, and - oh yeah - also secures long term savings."--Ahh so this is why there is a whiteboard behind me!

DigLit referenced in a page on using collaborative tools.

team launching a collaborative story (starting on Thursday 8 September) written in real time with readers following the story as it moves from blog to blog.

"But here are the best new educational features, in my opinion: Google Hangouts now offer screen-sharing, a sketchpad, and integration with Google Docs. That means that as you collaborate with others, you can view each other's desktops, you can view and edit documents together, you can scribble and share notes."

hosted solution from IBM using open-sim but with some custom collaboration and RW integration, looks like with some Lotus suite, some great features.

Kete is open source software that you can use to create online areas for collaboration for your community. Write topics and upload images, audio, video, documents. Discuss them all. Link them together. It's been called a "relational wiki" and " a mashup between content management and knowledge managment". It's a fun way to get things done.

"Hotseat, a social networking-powered mobile Web application, creates a collaborative classroom, allowing students to provide near real-time feedback during class and enabling professors to adjust the course content and improve the learning experience."

"Created and curated by RobinGoodRobinGood curates this topic from blogs, tweets, videos and much more: find out how!"

A blog recording work that Tom Smith at York Uni has done hacking around for solutions. Much if it is in Google Apps with scripts.

Open source solution for sharing content. connecting and collaborating. Integrates with other systems.

collaborative collection of digital research tools organised by function i.e. I need a tool to.... analyse data, edit images etc. 

"Published February 25, 2013 Matthew P. Long & Roger C. Schonfeld In this report, we present the results of Ithaka S+R's study of the scholarly practices of academic chemists. This study, funded by Jisc, presents information meant to empower research support providers in their work with chemists. The report covers themes such as data management, research collaboration, library use, discovery, publication practices, and research funding.   The report describes the findings of our investigation into academic chemists' research habits and research support needs. The digital availability of scholarly literature has transformed chemists' research by creating an environment where they can easily search for journal articles and chemical information. However, they often feel overwhelmed by the amount of new research available, and they need better tools to remain aware of current research. Furthermore, despite their heavy use of technology for research, many academic chemists have been slow to adopt new models of sharing data and research results such as online repositories and open access publishing. Our interviews highlighted the importance of the research group as a unit of academic life, and revealed some of the challenges inherent in working in groups that span institutions and national boundaries."

Grainne Conole proposes 12 dimesions for better classification of MOOCs. the degree of openness, the scale of participation (massification), the amount of use of multimedia, the amount of communication, the extent to which collaboration is included, the type of learner pathway (from learner centred to teacher-centred and highly structured), the level of quality assurance, the extent to which reflection is encouraged, the level of assessment, how informal or formal it is, autonomy, and diversity. She then evaluates five example MOOCs against these dimensions.

"Digital literacy is not word processing or watching movies on an iPhone, but instead using technology to create, code and collaborate. In today's world, that necessarily includes the Web. Building a generation of young 'webmakers' is key to job creation, international competitiveness and engagement in civil society. In this webinar, Mozilla will talk about their work in this area to define key Web literacy skills, create pathways for innovative learning experiences around them and build a network of instructors and facilitators with a shared mission."

New Groups feature.
