What We've Done
Onward
The
Internet has been built out with special attention and success to schools
across the country and around the world. Yet mainstream educational software
has progressed little beyond either online workbooks with flat multiple
choice drills or an amalgam of chat rooms, static Web pages, and threaded
bulletin board messaging made available to students under the umbrella
of a given class or school. Classrooms and dormitories are linked to the
Net, and those seeking educational applications say: “Now what?”
We believe that, with the right structure, the linking of classrooms and
students to the global Net can become indispensable to a variety of teaching
environments — and we have tested this belief through a series of
pilot projects implemented at Harvard Law School and elsewhere. These
projects seek to answer the surprisingly difficult questions of what to
do with a classroom once it is wired and how to help teachers, unobtrusively
but effectively, inspire and lead their students through the use of networked
technologies, fostering online intellectual communities with innovative
tools that fundamentally differ from existing educational systems.
We call the latest generation of these projects H2O to evoke the fluid
relationship between and among communities, ideas, and code. Apart from
the pedagogical ideas embedded in the software, which this document will
describe, the H2O project also tests the concept of community-based development
of educational software. The fundamentals of Internet protocols and software
sprang from the educational and non-profit communities, and we believe
these communities can play a useful role in concert with .com to develop
the space. As we shift from prototype to full release, we have launched
the first public version of the Rotisserie, an innovative structured discussion
system built to encourage discourse among communities. The completed system will include a means
by which teachers and other leaders of intellectual communities can share
written resources and discover who else in the world is studying issues
similar to their own — perhaps from a refreshingly different angle.
Code - Community - Ideas
In contrast to the Berkman Center’s approach of spearheading the
development of educational software, most universities currently use one
of a small number of commercial educational portal products. These products
provide all of the basic capabilities thought to be required for teaching
a course online — a content posting system, a chat system, a discussion
system, a grade book — and a few other bells and whistles. The idea
that these categories represent both a floor and a ceiling for online
dimensions to coursework is puzzling, since such systems have yet to prove
themselves particularly helpful, much less transformative. Yet the companies
producing software for teaching accept the playbook without much deviation,
leaving little room for fundamental innovations in the nature of the online
educational experience. Vast amounts of time and energy are spent re-implementing
the same basic services — content management, chat, discussion, etc.
— that have already been implemented elsewhere. We do not believe
that this void in the universe of educational software exists because
there is nothing useful left to invent, and we offer a years-long set
of successful technology-in-teaching endeavors — including free “online
lecture and discussion” series open to as many as 1,500 people at
a time — that puts that claim to the test.
Our vision is to encourage the growth of a more open set of intellectual
communities than those spawned by the traditional university system. In
particular, we focus on the ideal of introducing inventive methods of
interaction to allow these communities to form in new ways. Rather than
segregating users based on which university they happen to attend (or
indeed, whether they happen to attend a university at all) or even the
large subject areas encompassed by university classes, the system allows
users to interact with one another in focused ways based on the specific
ideas they are addressing at the time: users can gather around the specific
details of a recently passed piece of legislation or the implications
of a particular article, rather than around larger subject blocks. H2O
encourages users to share the content they create through these interactions
by making archives of previous materials easily available and browsable
and by enabling the sharing of content among different intellectual communities.

What We've Done
In 1998 the Berkman Center began the development of prototypes of H2O
tools, including the first version of the Rotisserie, real-time polling
tools, a real-time comment submission system, and interactive webcasting
systems; the latter two tools have been used around the world, including
at meetings of ICANN (see http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/yokohama
for an example). In May 2001, the Berkman Center received a first round
funding grant from the Harvard Provost’s Fund for Innovation in Distance
Learning. Using these funds, the H2O project launched its first public
tool, the Rotisserie, which will be used in courses this fall at many
schools, including Harvard Law School, MIT, Stanford Law School, Duke
University, St. John’s University, and the Harvard Extension School.
The public launch of the Rotisserie beta is the biggest milestone so far
for H2O. The Rotisserie implements an innovative approach to online discussion
that encourages measured, thoughtful discourse in a way that traditional
threaded messaging systems cannot. In contrast to the completely asynchronous,
broadcast-to-broadcast mode of existing threaded messaging systems, the
Rotisserie adds structure to both the timing and the flow of the discussion.
The timing of the discussion is broken into semi-synchronous rounds. Users
are allowed to post responses at any time, but their responses are not
published to other users until the deadline for the current round passes.
This structure allows users to put significant thought into their responses
rather than competing with other participants to post first. More important,
this structure allows the system to control the flow of the discussion
by distributing responses to specific users for further discussion at
the end of each round, ensuring that every post is distributed to at least
one other user for comment and that each user has exactly one post to
which to respond. Lastly, the Rotisserie system includes support for discussion
not only within a given class, but also between many different classes
at once, allowing, for instance, Internet law classes at Stanford and
Oxford to participate in a discussion about digital rights management
with an engineering course at MIT and with a radio show audience that
has just listened to a show on the topic.

Onward
The Rotisserie is currently fully functional
and will be used at several universities this fall. For the next round
of development, we plan implementation of an already-designed, more easily
navigable user interface and the addition of a content-sharing system
that will allow project leaders to share course content (lectures, readings,
syllabi) as easily as the system currently allows them to share discussions.
In addition, we are working to bring more of the tools that have been
in prototype use at the Berkman Center, such as a real time polling tool
and a multimedia archive, to public release. Our work is clearly ambitious,
both in the sweep of the vision and the work required to fully articulate
it. But it is also demonstrable in manageable quanta, several of which
have already been completed. We feel that we have seen the potential of
an idea like “free e-mail” — before hotmail.com was created.
