Students can enter text and graphic notes into the database on any topic their teacher has created.
All students on the network can read the notes and students may build on, or comment on, each other's ideas. Authors are notified when comments have been made or when changes in the database have occurred. Various note formats and supports have been designed to enhance the potential of the communal database for collaborative knowledge-building.
