A Collaboratory is an open space, creative process, where a group of people works together to generate solutions to complex problems. Furthered by Cogburn (2003) states that “a collaboratory is more than an elaborate collection of information and communications technologies; it is a new networked organizational form that also includes social processes; collaboration techniques; formal and informal communication; and agreement on norms, principles, values, and rules” (Cogburn, 2003, p. 86).
Community Communication
Our Collaboratory is divided into organized discussion boards that each reflect an aspect of our lives, from the workings of our mind to the community issues we face daily. Through many different mediums of media and contact, our community and team work together to discuss and broaden your view for whatever your task, be it work issues or family dynamics.
Below is a list of the current channels in the Collaboratory, what they are used for, and the permissions involved to access them. Here are some things you can discuss in the collab space.
