Collaborative Web Tools for Knowledge Transfer & Business and Community Engagement

This workshop examines some of the web-based tools available which can enhance collaboration and make working with others in BCE easier. The workshop will provide practical examples of use of tools relevant to BCE, and will offer hands-on experience using some tools and technologies to work collaboratively. Time will be available after the end of the workshop programme for those which wish to gain additional hands-on experience of using the tools discussed during the day, or for one-to-one advice and guidance.
