Collaboration Software
Overview
The Incubator Classroom is focused on
allowing for student collaboration and problem-based learning. We are actively testing different open-source
and commerical solutions that allow students to interact with the classroom environment through
file-sharing, screen-sharing, and other interactions. Currently the list of software includes:
- RealVNC Screen Sharing
- Classroom Presenter for the Tablet PC
- iROS & TeamSpot, interactive room software
- Collanos Desktop
Each of these tools provide a different form of digital
collaboration. RealVNC allows students to share control of their computers
with each other to allow for collaborative group work. Classroom Presenter
is a Windows software package especially designed for the Tablet PC that allows
for 2 way communication between students and faculty using annotation
tools. Students can use the stylus to respond to information in lectures and
send that information to the instructor to display on the
screen. iROS and TeamSpot create a digital infrastructure enabling students and faculty to
share, collaborate and archive their work seamlessly through drag and dropping of links,
files and other information. Collanos Desktop allows students and faculty
to have a shared workspace including files, URLs, comments, chats and other
communication tools
