- In search of: a real-time shared drawing tool
-
- I am working on my PhD research on the design of learning environments for
- cooperative learning at a distance, which means that groups of three adult
- learners are collaboratively working on a problem solving task. I want to
- study the effects (on learning outcomes and processes) of supporting their
- work with a tool for collaborative creation of drawings and schemes,
- additionally to communication through audio-conferencing.
-
- What I need for this, is software that enables this collaborative drawing,
- specifically:
- - real-time interaction,
- - a cursor on the screen for each participant (there are 3 of them),
- - if possible: input from more than one person at the same moment.
- I am searching for software that either does the whole thing, or that
- enables real-time work on (drawing) applications that may not be specially
- designed for collaborative work.
-
- For the research purpose, it does not have to bridge long distances.
- Implementations on a DOS/Windows or Macintosh environment are preferred
- (since that's what we have available here).
-
- Is there someone out there who can help me?
- Thanks in advance!
