Using MediaScape Tables

Try our MediaScape tables for your next group project. These tables are designed with group collaboration in mind. MediaScape tables allow each member to work on their assigned part of the project independently. These tables also allowing other members of the group to view each other’s work by the touch of a button. Simply hook up your computers to the MediaScape pucks and you are ready to collaborate with your group. Not sure how? Follow the instructions below and you will be on your way.

Step 1: Connect MediaScape table puck to your computer. Step 2: Make sure the MediaScape table recognizes your computer. You will know this when the number 1 is lit on the puck.

Group Collaboration With NoodleTools

The NoodleTools citation management system includes features that facilitate seamless collaboration between students working on group projects or presentations. By creating a group project, all students in the group can contribute relevant resources, build notecards on each source that might highlight key points or direct quotes and paraphrasing, and build the content for an outline together. The project can even be linked to Google docs. All changes are updated in real time meaning no more passing updated files back and forth. This video shows how the group project collaboration works. The collaboration feature is another way that NoodleTools helps you to work smarter, not harder, on research assignments.

How do I set up a collaboration with my teammates?
