Name: H2O Rotisserie
Description: H2O is a system that supports gathering people around ideas. In addition to the traditional features of learning management systems, H2O includes support for collaboration between projects through the sharing of syllabus elements and through joint discussions between projects. It also supports Rotisserie-structured discussions, which provide an alternative to traditional online discussion boards by structuring the timing and flow of discussions. It can be used as a traditional course management platform, but it can also be used for more informal projects centered around the exploration of a set of ideas, whether the project be a conference, an ongoing public discussion, or a traditional academic course.
