This program is an outstanding conferencing and e-mail program, but falls short of what good WBI programs should include. It has wonderful communication tools, it allows file sharing, and it has a very robust e-mail and synchronous and asynchronous discussions, but does not include a whiteboard component for example. Plus it needs a dedicated server. Learning Space has very strong collaboration and messaging abilities. It maintains students' grades and tracking, allows student to perform self-assessments and lets them create their profiles or homepages.
Students can also create portfolios to store completed assignments and other items in.
It allows scheduling of events by lessons or by date and has excellent context-sensitive help. The CourseRoom is an interactive, facilitated environment for asynchronous discussion groups, which can be either public or private. An institution must have a Lotus Domino Server. You can see going to visit the ClassNet site how the technology has improved in the last two years. The program has a home made flavor.
