Battle Creek Non-Profit Technology Day*
Battle Creek, MI, June 6, 2001
ACT's Dan Atkins, Kate Williams, Kara Lock, and
Vlad Wielbut participated in this event, whose stated purpose was
to "bring together Kellogg program staff and invited participants
to exchange information about technology that is useful to solving
community problems and enhancing organizational effectiveness",
with an exhibit entitled:
"Collaboration Technology on the Cheap"
Synopsis: The real power of the Internet lies not only in
access to information but also in the communication and collaboration
it is capable of supporting. One proof of that is the enormous
growth and innovation in the technological niche commonly known
as "groupware," which encompasses applications such
as: discussion boards, chat rooms, audio- and videoconferencing,
scheduling, virtual classrooms, virtual offices, etc. Our exhibit
shows examples of sophisticated groupware tools that are available
for free or for small fees (e.g., Netmeeting, QuickBase, Zoomerang,
CommunityZero, etc.)
(See the multimedia
scrapbook from this event.)
