Link to things we found of interest at the conference

August 13, 2008

I thought that the best way to share the conference was to use some of the collaborative tools that we learned about at the conference.

I began with mindomo.com but soon found that for collaboration, this wasn’t the best tool.  Here’s what happened.  I created a mind map and shared it with 2 others to collaborate.  They opened the map in the morning, kept it open all day doing other things.  Meanwhile, I was working away filling it up.  I saved my map.  They, at the day’s end added a few things to their open map, which had never updated automatically and saved the morning map with only a few things OVER my afternoon efforts.  In other words, not having auto save features, OR a feature which would have let them know that I was working, they erased my data.  Features that need to be added for sure!

So, attempt two we switched to Mindmeister.  You can find this new mind map at:  Distance Learning Conference: What We Learned.
