• Bridge
⁃ Students online can collaborate synchronously/asynchronously in a virtual workspace which included sharing of documents, group chats, a rational panel, user lists, and more.
• IM
• Cell phones
• Email
• Digital photos
• Videos

Course Configurations
• IST 413 06' - Lu Xiao co-located with students. Collaborative case review activity was performed, but students weren't fully engaged they feel because the activity was not graded.
• IST 331 06' - Lu Xiao was at UP, Pat and her students were at Beaver campus combining Adobe Connect and Bridge technologies

Collaboration tool enables productive teamwork across distances

Video Conferencing
 Patrice Clemson at Penn State Beaver uses Adobe Connect, a Web-based videoconferencing application, to reach students at a distance and facilitate team collaboration. Over the last two years, she has gradually incorporated more of the tool’s versatile features into her information sciences and technology courses to aid communication with and among students.

In fall 2006, Clemson used Connect to hold online office hours with a student located at Penn State Shenango who was taking an individualized programming course. Because the application allows users to share their computer desktop with others, she said, “He could show me problems he was having with program code, we could work through it together, he could hand me control of the desktop, and I could help him fix his program. It worked out really well.”

During the Symposium, attendees can tag themselves with some stickers that we have on hand. I hope this will help to strike up conversations between people who share a common interest, but who don't know each other yet.
