Abstract

CoWeb (short for Collaborative Web-site) is a simple freely-available hypermedia space that has been used in a variety of settings, including over 100 courses at Georgia Tech and dozens of institutions around the world. CoWeb is simple to use and flexible enough to be used for many activities; even non-technical teachers are inventing educational activities using the tool. CoWeb is easy to install on any common computer (MacOS, Windows, Linux, etc.). In this tutorial, we lead participants through installing and administering CoWeb on their laptop machine, and we lead participants through design and implementation of their own collaborative learning activities in the CoWeb. The presentation will include a tour of real classroom sites. By the end of the tutorial, participants will be able to administer CoWeb and know how to use CoWeb to support various activities.
