Talk:WorldWideWhiteboard

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am the initial author of this entry. My qualifications to discuss the history, relevance, and operations of an online collaboration tool, and the WorldWideWhiteboard product in particular, include:

  • I have been an educator and have used all available online teaching resources since 2000
  • I am an adjunct professor of mathematics at a major public university
  • I tutored and managed the NetTutor service, which uses the WorldWideWhiteboard, 2003 to 2010
  • I am co-author of research into the effectiveness of online educational tools

I have a COI in writing this, since I am currently Director of Academic Research at LSI, the company which owns NetTutor. For this reason, I have have supplied and will continue to maintain NPOV on this as I have on other topics in Wikipedia. A growing portion of the tools used in education are supplied by private vendors, lending this and many other articles their Notability. At the same time, it is unlikely that anyone without any association to the products will have sufficient expertise to provide encyclopedic insight, and therefore, Accuracy to the articles. Anyone with a question about this, or about the accuracy of anything in the article is, of course, free to amend it. I would appreciate it, as a matter of courtesy, that you would comment first on this talk page. In particular, I would be happy to discuss the COI issue.Dkephart (talk) 18:37, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
