Collaboration
From the site:
So how does WebTeach work? The secret seems to be in adding structure to collaborative classroom activities.
"The seminar room is the hub of what goes on," Hewson says. "We've tried to give the interface visual clues with colour and indenting. You can see very quickly what's happening in the class."
"These tools are as good as the people who use them," Hewson says. "But it allows them to teach well and introduces them to techniques they might not have considered. It scaffolds teachers in what to do next. So what you do in the classroom that works well, you can still do online and it works well."
