Thanks to all who responded with recommendations for web tools for project and/or course meetings. Here is a short list of answers:
- Google wave was suggested by several persons, since one can interface with several other google tools at the same time including gmail, google docs, youtube etc; other related tools apparently in development - Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com<https://exchange.ulaval.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=71d8af9fd7b3448e8ea33c897fdf36ff&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwww.dropbox.com%2f>) was suggested by several persons; this is most useful for exchange of documents - Microsoft OneNote (and Microsoft Groove) associated with MSOffice (tho it seems all the students would have to have this too...) - PBWorks (www.pbworks.com<https://exchange.ulaval.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=71d8af9fd7b3448e8ea33c897fdf36ff&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.pbworks.com%2f>) looks quite interesting for both uses (projects, courses), with free to different levels of use (and associated fees) - www.wetpaint.com<https://exchange.ulaval.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=71d8af9fd7b3448e8ea33c897fdf36ff&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.wetpaint.com> also has potential, either for working on a common document, or creating a web site/blog, and discussion space - http://www.ning.com/<https://exchange.ulaval.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=71d8af9fd7b3448e8ea33c897fdf36ff&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ning.com%2f> is also free, with many of the same resources as wetpaint All the best, thanks again, Alison Munson Prof Forest Biogeochemistry Centre d'étude de la Forêt Université Laval, Québec, QC [email protected]
