Abstract

Zebu is an educational groupware technology which facilitates the use of standard WWW software to support collaborative project-based learning. This paper discusses the promise of Zebu in helping teachers and students overcome some technical and practical, educational problems inherent in WWW-based technologies, allowing them to more fully realise the potentials of the WWW as a technology for collaboration in education. Illustrations of the software are included to provide further detail of how the software addresses these problems.
