Collaboration Studio at USP’s Chatterbox
CIT has loaned a Collaboration Studio system to the University Scholars Programme (USP). The system, installed at USP's Chatterbox, enables students to conduct small group face-to-face discussions while collaborating from their individual laptops. A large shared screen puts an end to huddling around one person's computer. Students can contribute resources from their laptops and work together on the shared Collaboration Studio space.
