CoPE (Collaborative Paper Exchange)

Overview

CoPE - Collaborative Paper Exchange - is a system that provides community-based acces to paper summaries via web. CoPE is currently an in-class tool for both teachers and students. Both eachers and students are able to:

  • Submit papers and paper summaries.
  • Index papers with terms from a set of ontologies.
  • Specify scope of their interest in terms of ontology concepts and have papers and folders presented adaptively according to this scope.
  • Review submissions.
  • Leave ratings for papers and summaries (new!).
  • Search for previously added papers by author, year, and titile (new!).

In addition teachers can:

  • Create hierarchies of folders for students to submit papers and summaries into.
  • Create folder descriptions.

Teachers' and students' access is mediated by an extensibleset of access rights that can be fine tuned to best fit the class objectives

CoPE Redesign

A series of on/off-line brainstorming sessions have been carried out. Results are posted here.
