Lunch 'n Learn presentation: New forms of electronic collaboration promise to ease the sharing of information and ideas. These technologies reduce the barriers to participation and increase the efficiency with which information can be produced and exchanged. The University is now making available a new set of collaboration tools. This talk will introduce three of these tools and discuss their primary features, most appropriate uses, and how to begin working with each. Mark Ratliff, Princeton's new Digital Repository Architect, will introduce a panel of three OIT speakers. Dennis Hood will present an overview of Princeton’s Webshare file management system, show how it can be used to provide your colleagues with remote access to files you wish to share, and discuss possible uses in teaching, including linking it with Blackboard and using it as an class file exchange. Sal Rosario will discuss the Miscrosoft SharePoint service, which offers a full-fledged collaboration environment for website creation, document sharing, group discussions, blogging, calendaring, and Wikis. Harris Otubu will provide an overview of WebEx, which can be used to deliver real-time presentations to remote PCs for use in conferencing or training.
