About our Collaboration Framework
Introduction to our Collaboration Framework
Our Interactive Space and its tools are based on a virtual community and collaboration framework for people working on social entrepreneurship, information technologies and human development. It was originally created as a collaboration tool for the fellows at the Reuters Digital Vision Fellowship Program at Stanford University.
Here you can open and maintain your own blog, run polls and surveys, upload and share files and presentations, open and participate in discussions, maintain a private or shared calendar or even set up special interest groups around specific topics.
