Communication Tools: the Whole Enchilada

Created by Susan Miltenberger (Maryland Institute College of Art) on February 15, 2007
Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on project communication tools!  As
we have been researching tools and recommendations, the institutional needs
for these systems has started growing.  In addition to project management we
are wondering about how collaboration tools can also meet communication
needs within our department:
  • as a repository for documentation (how to install...)
  • to provide an overview of what is going on in the department (this
  • week...this month)
  • as a place where all the bits of information can be brought together into
  • a big snapshot
I have no expectations that technology will provide us with the sole
solution to improving communication and workflow, but I¹d really like to
hear more ideas and stories about how other institutions are effectively
using collaboration applications.  We narrowed down our list of possible
solutions to four:  mediaWiki, drupal, typepad and Teams.

And since drupal consolidates many kinds of content (wiki, blog, RSS, etc.)
we felt that it was the product most worth looking at.  Yeah...simple,
right?
