Collaborate! is a collaborative learning system for creating various types of sites including course, news, journal, peer review and e-portfolio. With Collaborate! you can quickly and easily create websites for yourself and, if you are a teacher, for your classes. Collaborate! allows teachers to assign individuals or groups to be collaborators and precisely define who can discuss, view, add, edit and/or delete any content, page or section of a site. With Collaborate!, students can contribute as much as the teacher or more to a class website. In addition, students can make their own websites that can be associated with a class website or can build a website for their own educational use such as a weblog or an e-portfolio.

Collaborate! encourages the publication of course work (where appropriate) and opens the classroom to the world community. At the same time, Collaborate! allows for a site to become a personal workspace, where site owners can develop ideas in a private web-based environment accessible anywhere; or a community workspace, where individuals or groups can share ideas amongst only themselves.

To access your personal and class websites, please login with your username and password above.
