**Project Scope:**
=== **a) Web 2.0 Tool:** Jing - [] === "Jing is a fast and easy way to capture images and create videos of what you see on your screen. Sometimes, using words to express yourself through online conversations just isn't enough. With Jing, you can capture what you want to say with a picture or a video instantly. Pictures and videos really do say a thousand words, and you can capture them all with Jing. I like to use Jing when making tutorials. I can capture any screen shot I want. After I have saved it, I can add arrows or caption windows. Or I may just decide to make a video instead. The best part about Jing is that you can download this neat program off the internet for free."

**b) Target Audience:** Higher Education Professors and Teachers who teach online classes.
Teachers can use Jing videos to help students with questions or problems with their online classwork. Teachers might find it much easier to simply verbally comment about a student's paper showing exactly what they are talking about, rather than try to write an email saying the same thing without the visual help.

Below is a quick example of what a teacher can do with a Jing video to help a student writing a paper. The teacher can record the video showing the student's own work along with the teaher's suggestions and then send the student a link to watch the video. media type="custom" key="5268283"

Timeline:One week before semester begins.
==== Teachers are given a one day workshop that will give them the opportunity to learn how to use Jing to create videos and screenshots and share it with students, practice with it and ask any questions about the program. ====

Timeline:First week of semester
====At the beginning of each semester, Jing information and instructions are included in the course syllabus and teachers will create a Jing video to send to students to give them an example of the process. Since the students are already taking online courses, the basic components of viewing the Jing video links are covered(computer and online access).====

=== **Team communication**:  E-mail, group wiki, Google docs, conference calls & text messages. ===

=== Collaboration strategies : Brainstorming and researching individually and then bringing the best ideas together, working simultaneously on this document in Google docs. ===
