Using ethernet or floppies, students can move material previously generated on an individual's computer to the team's. In the course of the meeting, this material may be refined or alternatives generated as team members share turn-taking control. At the conclusion of the meeting, results can be redistributed from the team to the individual, again through ethernet or floppy. A team can show its work or make informal reports to the instructor watching one of the team's monitors. When appropriate, instructors can take control of the team's machine to illustrate a concept or demonstrate a technique.
Instructors can also establish links to other teams in order to demonstrate alternative approaches.
Sitting with team members at the table, clients can see and comment on the developing project. By taking brief control of the team's machine, they can also suggest changes. Material generated for and during the consultation can be electronically transmitted or printed out in hard copy. Linking to distant clients through global networks is another option. Students can connect their machine to the instructor's and project their work for presentation to the entire the class.
