Online collaborative presentations

Sharing and collaboration, keywords in current way of using the Web, are strongly present in the e-learning field, but usually not in educational content creation. There is a need that students participate even in lectures design, either by commenting, editing them or sharing notes with each other. This paper describes WikiPres - a system based on wiki engine that enables participants to create, annotate and edit presentations in wiki-way, while retaining the slides' formats frequently used in lectures creation. Along with the description of WikiPres implementation, the paper describes the results of a survey among the students that shows their willingness to collaborate in a process of making lectures.
