Cellular collaboration
Wiggio looks like a promising addition to the collaboration software landscape. It uses the web so there’s no worries about platform compatibility and includes core team tools like a calendar, file sharing, meeting forums, message areas, and link libraries.
One way in which it really distinguishes itself, though, is how it capitalizes on a common tool that nearly everyone has — a cellphone. You can set-up cellphone conference calls, record voice notes or messages, and text team members; it’s all integrated with Wiggio.
When educators who teach online look for ways to facilitate collaboration among student groups, it seems that integrating cellphone capabilities is a very big and smart step forward. Also interesting is that Wiggio has been created by students at Cornell. So, unlike other DE tools that generally come from outside campus environments, here we see one springing directly out of a campus context. I wonder if the CHE blog will write anything on this tool?
