Week 3 of GEN Seminar: ThoughtShare

[Sylvia Currie <currie@idmail.com>]

Dear GEN members:

We're into the third week of our Global Educators' Network
"ThoughtShare" seminar, facilitated by Brian Fisher (aka 
"Cyberpsychologist") from University of British Columbia, and his 
"Co-conspirator" John Dill, from Simon Fraser University. Brian and 
John were involved in the development of the award-winning 
Telelearning NCE technology "CZWeb" which is now being further 
developed by ThoughtShare.

So far seminar participants have been raising questions and searching 
for solutions related to:
* getting lost in Web's hyperspace
* anchoring our communication to media on the web (breaking down the 
barrier between Web content and conferencing)
* structuring the information we find on the Web for better understanding
* understanding the effects of self-documenting concept maps and 
presentation tools on the communicative and cognitive processes for 
individuals, and influences on collaborative relationships

The beta version of ThoughtShare is available to GEN members. 
Experience first- hand how some of the concepts of anchoring 
communication are being implemented, explore the larger issues around 
visual cognition, and participate in the advancement of this 
state-of-the-art technology. Information about downloading 
ThoughtShare can be found at:

Please join us! It's never too late. We expect and welcome 
late-comers, new-comers, lurkers and leaders!
