ACollab is an open-sourced, web-based collaborative work environment designed by ATutor. It is a great tool for teaching groups, or groups of students. It will work espescially well for people who will be collaborating or working from a distance. ACollab has many different features. Some of which include
- Document Library: a space where members can submit documents and other members can download them for viewing.
- Events Calendar: Members can post events, deadlines, etc. to the calendar.
- Private Mailbox: Members can communicate with each other privately.
- Multilingual Interface: Allows people to communicate using language packs or language can be modified by system administrators.
ACollab can be used many ways in education. It can be used for creating groups where distance is a barrier yet sharing research is key. It can also be used to make working on groups projects easier for students in the same school when scheduling is a problem. Online educators can also use it for group learning and collaborating. Students can share, collaborate, or write joint papers with ease.

sounds like a good application
ReplyDeleteThis is another good choice for an application. Is this application free? It's a very effective way to educate large amounts of people.
ReplyDeleteGood comment James! Please let your audience know if this is a free application or if there is a charge to use it.
