CALMET 99 - Workshop C: Web-based instruction (introduction)
7. Collaboration
It is becoming much easier for people separated by both duistance and
time to collaborate. Tools such as email are invaluable but there are
many others. These can be split into synchronous and
asynchronous where synchronous tools require both people to be
using them at the same time.
Synchronous Tools
- Chat (available as part of NetMeeting but also on various web pages)
- Audio conferencing (available as part of NetMeeting)
- Video Conferencing (desktop and studio-based) see video conferencing
workshop
- Shared Whiteboard (available as part of NetMeeting)
- Shared Applications (available as part of NetMeeting)
Asynchronous Tools
Practice
Use the chat system to have a discussion about which of these tools
could be useful for teaching meteorologists.
