Interdisciplinary Global Health’s Updates

Scholar Overview

Scholar consists of five working spaces, or apps.

  • Community is a discussion and portfolio space that is a little bit like all of Facebook, Twittter, LinkedIn, and a blog ... and in some ways quite different from all of them. Community is dedicated to forming knowledge communities in ways that other social media are not.
  • Creator is a digital workspace that is different from a processor in two important ways—it is genuinely multimodal, allowing you to combine text, image, video, audio, dataset and any other file into a composite 'work'; and it a very social space, supporting structured feedback.
  • Publisher is where groups of people are organized to provide feedback on each other's works.
  • Analytics provides a whole lot of knowledge and learning data to teachers, learners and participants in knowledge communities.
  • Bookstore delivers content created in Scholar, including our revolutionary Learning Module format.
