Collaborating in Online Space
For me, contributing to this roundtable was an exercise in collaborating by distance, since I was not actually present for the presentation and most of the preparation meetings. Based on my colleagues' revision histories, shared GoogleDoc, and rough notes, I created an online presentation that "responded" to the others' work, following the basic structure outlined by their PowerPoint slides.
What I found interesting about Scalar in this respect was its ability to mimic certain presentation features. The "media emphasis" view allows the user to slide through a series of images cued to text, almost as if witnessing a slide-based lecture. Perhaps if we had made full use of Scalar's annotation and comment features, we could have turned this "presentation" into more of a realistic roundtable discussion in an online space.
