WikiEducator roadmap/Integrate real-time collaboration tools
From WikiEducator
The following can all help enrich the experience of learners and educators:
- whiteboarding (Inkscape already has an open source implementation)
- real-time collaborative editing (Gobby, SynchroEdit)
- voice over IP (SIP, Asterisk)
- Skypecast: group talks, hundreds can listen / moderator selects questions
- text chat (IRC, Jabber, web-based chats)
- file sharing (LionShare, iFolder)
- handshaking / negotiation interfaces (computer games provide some good examples of these)
- screen sharing / remote control
- live changelogging / filtering / visualization
Needless to say, integrating any single one of these features properly with the wiki interface is a challenge. However, many of these deliverables are independent of each other, so that (with sufficient resourcing) different strategies can be tried in parallel.
