JANET Collaboration Service

The aim of the Collaboration Service is to enable those in education to find

1) others with similar educational interests, leading to educational collaboration;

2) opportunities for collaboration, especially live educational content being delivered by videoconference;

3) associated educational resources, e.g. best practice, projects, lesson plans.

Members will be able to

• search for other members with similar interests

• send a message to another member, inviting collaboration

• offer or request, search for and join “opportunities” for collaboration.

• create and take part in personal groups, forums and wikis
