[ba-unrev-talk] Fle3 1.3.0 - CSCL software
Hi, (01)
UIAH Media Lab, University of Art and Design Helsinki, Finland has
released the first non-beta version of a computer supported
collaborative learning (CSCL) software, called Fle3. Fle3 is Open Source
and Free Software released under the GNU GPL. (02)
Fle3 is designed to support group centered work that concentrates on
creating and developing expressions of knowledge (i.e. knowledge
artefacts). The design has been inspired, among other things, by Dr.
Engelbart's work. I thought that, people in this list could be
interested in Fle3 and give us valuable feedback. (03)
Fle3 WebTops can be used by teachers and students to store different
items (documents, files, links, knowledge building notes) related to
their studies, organize them to folders and share them with others.
WebTop also includes "shared folder" for each study work or project. (04)
With Fle3 Knowledge Building tool groups may carry out knowledge
building dialogues, theory building and debates by storing their
thoughts into a shared database. The study group may use Knowledge Types
to scaffold and structure their dialogues. The Knowledge Type sets are
fully editable and one may export and import them. Fle3 comes with two
default Knowledge Type sets: (1) Progressive Inquiry, and (2) Design
Thinking. (05)
Fle3 Jamming tool is a shared space for collaborative construction of
digital artefacts (pictures, text, audio, video). A study group may work
together with some digital artefacts by uploading and downloading files.
Versions are tracked automatically and different versions are displayed
graphically. Jamming can be used for many kind of collaborative work
requiring versioning. (06)
You will find the Fle3 1.3.0 from: (07)
