Group conversations around images, documents, and videos. Membership, Collaboration and the Interwebs. Been a good solid month since i had the brain space to blog.
I’ve got a bunch of things coming up where some of the ideas that are pinging around my brain are going to need to come out… so i thought I’d better get some of them out in time to reconsider them One of the topics that has been repeatedly coming up in discussions lately is the idea of layers of membership in a collaborative community.
With the mind numbing escalation of online communities available for people to participate in, and the second wavers starting to turn their minds to those communities, its becoming more and more important to allow for multi modal membership models… To give this a little context, let me tell you about the project that we are running at my university. We are creating virtual research environments specially designed for the needs of given research groups.
