10 Institutions Receive Collaboration Software
"A recent grant program profiled in Campus Technology by DyKnow has ended. Ten recipients--including the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)--will be receiving the company's collaboration software and a plugin that allows users to create content and initiate a DyKnow session directly through PowerPoint."
Sakai: Open Source … Open Minds
"Unlike Learning Management Systems, Sakai turns students into active learners and contributors, and the instructor into a facilitator. The instructor activates tools and gives students, or groups of students, permissions to use them as they like; the instructor does not have to be an expert in the tools. This is just the start of the difference between Sakai and LMSs."
Google Wave vs Twitter at conferences
An audience member would create a Google Wave and others in the audience would edit the wave during the presentation. The result would be a crowd-sourced write-up of the presentation: a transcript of key points and a record of audience comments.
TodaysMeet
"TodaysMeet helps you embrace the backchannel and connect with your audience in realtime. Encourage the room to use the live stream to make comments, ask questions, and use that feedback to tailor your presentation, sharpen your points, and address audience needs."
Examples of Facilitating Collaborative Work and Learning
"The design of both programs is, to an extent, a reflection of how client work is pushing our employees and work groups to collaborate with one another in new ways. At the same time, employees are giving us signals that they want to have the freedom to pursue their own professional interests. "
Google Wave Hype or Hope?
"Reading Johanna Hanes’ paper “Google Wave: A Revolutionary CSCL-tool or Overestimated Hype” (PDF)—a nice combination of personal experience with Google Wave, light theoretical foundation, and a decent suite of links and resources—and ruminating on how I might position Google Wave for my students has reminded me yet again that I’m still not sure what to make of Wave."

Google Wave & Sakai: Exchanging data
"Over the last weeks I have been able to spend some time on my Google Wave endeavor. In my last blog I wrote about embedding GW in a Sakai environment which was a simple example of how this could be done."
What Intrigues Me About Google Wave
"Wave completely demolishes the line between synchronous and asynchronous communication."
Google Wave Use Case in Education
"The wave was started to explore concepts like "Collaborative Note Taking" and "Wave as a Debate Host." Nearly 100 people are included in the wave, ranging from teachers to PhD students to IT professionals to high school students."
What is Working Wikily?
"Working Wikily" is a phrase that the Monitor Institute team coined (with a little alliterative assistance from our friend Lucy Bernholz) to describe the new ways that people are applying network theory and networked technology to do the work they've always done in a more collaborative form and also to begin working in new ways altogether.
