The Elm Collaboratory
The Electronic Learning Marketplace (ELM) Collaboratory is an interactive web center for accessing information, connecting to and collaborating with existing and emerging member networks in the common goal to improve teaching and learning. The ELM Collaboratory structure offers three different levels of interactivity: a public or community space where members can exchange information freely across the Collaboratory, a semi-private space for organizations to collaborate and communicate about shared work, and private workrooms for groups. A common suite of dynamic communication and administration tools is available at each level to support organizations in the management of their Collaboratory space(s) and networks.
