Abstract

In 2008, Professors David Kaufer, a humanist, and Ananda Gunawardena, a computer scientist, wondered if it was possible to design software that would encourage social reading and annotation. The result is Classroom Salon, and Professor Gunawardena will demonstrate how to you can use it to create an interactive online learning environment in which learners simultaneously build and benefit from collective intelligence of the group, using tags, questions, annotations, and really cool analytics.
