Collaboration Tools – web conferencing software

www.ibm.com John Gallagher explains how City University (London) uses collaboration software to improve the handling of assessments. Students are able to use calendar, activity, and profie tools to deliver materials back in a timely fashion. John Gallagher City University One of the core activities that we are looking to improve is the handling of assessments. Were looking for academics to say group assessments via the collaboration tools. Well publish an assessment topic to a group of students, set deadlines in their personal calendars, and give them group activities to do. The students can use the profiles database to assess the capabilities of their peers in the assessment group. They are then able to deliver the assessment back to the academic in a timely fashion and we can forward it on to backend services like a plagiarism check.
