ViCToR-Spaces: Cooperative Knowledge Spaces for Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Uwe Sinha, Sabina Jeschke, Sabine Cikic · E-Learn: World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education · 2006
Cooperative knowledge spaces have a high potential to improve eLTR (eLearning, eTeaching and eResearch) at universities. Since there are few implementations deployed, notably in the fields of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering, we propose a concept for fieldspecific knowledge spaces for those disciplines the ”ViCToR”-Spaces (Virtual Cooperation in Teaching and Research for Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Engineering). ViCToR-Spaces present novel collaborative working environments for knowledge gain and research, supporting wellestablished forms of scientific and technological cooperation without geographical or technological boundaries. In this article, we will describe the requirements for ViCToR-Spaces, the components that are already available, and further developments.
