Ourweb – Transparent Groupware for Online Communities
نویسندگان
چکیده
OurWeb is a system designed for on-line communities to foster engagement into purposeful activities associated with collaboration. In this paper we present the features and functionality of OurWeb, and report the experiences acquired from a university course, where the course structures were designed to emulate an on-line community and the students were required to act as members of a learning community. The experiences from the course suggest that enhancing interactions between the community members using novel tools is fruitful.
