Project Summary:
During Semester 1, 1998, Masters' degree students
in the University of Canberra unit Usability Testing
and the Information Systems Design Process were
asked to evaluate two currently "free"
synchronous groupware environments to see if they would be
of use to student project teams, for example in
the conduct of meetings.
Two environments were evaluated: AussieMOO and Microsoft NetMeeting. Two groups evaluated
each environment and booklet was produced. The AussieMOO environment was provided by
Charles Sturt University as part of their participation in
the CUTSD grant Building a Teaching and Learning Community in the Information Systems Discipline
in which University of Canberra, Charles Sturt University, University of Technology, Sydney
and University of New South Wales are
participating organisations. |
