“…This sharing of experience is important to making many courses more relevant to the students who have not lived through such experiences. Many of the key features of the current system are summarized in Table I on communication structures (See also, Hiltz, 1994;Turoff et al, 1990;Turoff, 1991;Turoff et al, 1993 Many of the advanced features are incorporated into the system as 'Activities' that provide a common interface for faculty to create and students to do special activities through specific programs, e.g., a Gradebook Activity that is basically a spreadsheet with privileges. Any number and type of additional specialized programs could be incorporated through Activities.…”

This paper reviews the software functionality that has evolved over the past two decades of research in Computer Mediated Communications at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to create a Virtual Classroom® to support distance education. Based upon many years of evaluating its effectiveness we also summarize our views about the software functionality needed for further improvement of this approach to distance education. This view of a future Virtual Classroom® allows the instructor complete control over the learning materials and the tools to easily to weave in the learners as co contributors to a growing web of course knowledge. Beyond the current basic tools of the Virtual Classroom® we discuss the future role for hypertext, gaming and simulation, animation and multimedia and the role of the educator as a facilitator of a collaborative learning process. Both the proper software and the proper pedagogical techniques are necessary in order to obtain maximum effectiveness in the asynchronous computer-mediated environment

“…In fact, our view of Hypertext is as a general support tool for CMC systems. Simple Hypertext capabilities have always existed in most computerized conferencing versions of CMC systems (Turoff, Foster, Hiltz, & Ng, 1989). Daft and Lengel (1986) observed that the current generation of information systems did not deal well with ambiguity and therefore has not had much utility for management decision problems.…”

This paper describes the underlying concepts, architecture, and design of a Web-enabled CyberCollaboratory (Web-CCAT) for geographically distributed information systems students and working professionals. The primary objectives for Web-CCAT are (1) to provide the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of cooperative learning without having to coordinate meeting times or come to campus; and (2) to provide a more technologically enriched collaborative environment than is possible in a traditional face-to-face classroom. To meet these objectives, multiuser , collaborative software tools and procedures were designed for use in the asynchronous mode of communication. Web-CCAT is implemented as a tool kit of commercially available applications coupled with software developed at the University of Illinois at Springfield. The system became operational in January 1999.
