Hot Team: Collaborative Writing Tools

wiki tag smallTom Davis recently lead a Hot Team to investigate collaborative writing tools. Tom is uniquely qualified to think about the need for tools that facilitate collaborative content creation and sharing because he actually spends most of his days working from his home in Pittsburgh. For those of you unfamiliar with PA geography, that is a good three hours or so away from most of his teammates here in State College. Tom and the group looked at a couple of tools that can enable online content creation and sharing. The resulting white paper is a quick survey of these tools and provides a nice overview of this new and emerging space. The white paper is modeled after Educause’s “7 Things” series. Take a look and let us know what you think.

ETS Talk Podcast 13: iPhone and Tranparent Organizations

This week’s ETS Talk Podcast brings Cole, Brad, Chris, and Allan together to talk about a bunch of things. The new Apple iPhone has been a hot topic around our offices this week and we do our best to break it down. The thing about the iPhone is that it is so interesting we are starting to really think about how it will alter what we can do in an educational setting. We also announce our new email address for comments and feedback. You can now email us at etstalk at psu dot edu and the Hot Line is working at 814-806-1855. We listen to our first listener submitted audio comment as well. All in all a good show.
