Scholar: Introduction for Research, Collaboration, & Administration Purposes
(Academic)
Scholar Project sites are designed to facilitate collaboration and communication. Within Scholar Project sites, organizers, participants, and guests can effectively discuss ideas, exchange and share files, and present web content. Private and public group pages can be formed. Access permissions are easily set and determined by the organizers of each site. Scholar site owners can invite anyone they wish, even beyond Virginia Tech, to join their sites and participate in the collaboration. If a Project site requires or needs it, ePortfolio aspects can be incorporated to help manage large projects or to provide opportunities for program assessment and presentation. The focus of this workshop will be on providing concrete examples of how Scholar is already being used by departments and research groups. Plan to brainstorm ideas for how it may serve your project or research idea. Specific tools covered will include: Creating a New Site, Site Info (Adding participants & creating Groups), Calendar, Email Tools, Resources, and Wiki. You will also be introduced to the Project Site Checklist which will ensure that your site is set up correctly for your participants.
This short course is being presented in collaboration with Online Learning and Collaboration Services http://www.olcs.lt.vt.edu/ More information...
