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.)
