Writing submitted to the Writing Center can be brought up and edited by the tutor. When the tutor is done, e-mail is sent to the author saying that the tutor is done. The author can then review the comments. The Online Writing Center is open for students, staff, and faculty during the Spring and Summer sessions. Doug also showed some work he did on courses with the School of Nursing at Duke.
Notes is a groupware product for collaboration.
The native Notes client is a resource hog, but provides a high degree of security. Domino translates Notes to HTML and vice versa. In the future, development will be done with the Web client, but not yet. The Lotus Domino server can provide a common look and feel for courses, through templates. The database is part of the server.
