The document discusses a JISC BCE project that aimed to test and pilot selected online collaborative tools in specific collaborative contexts. A call for expressions of interest was made and 12 participants were selected to develop their proposals further. The participants then pitched their proposals at an event. Following this, trials of certain collaborative tools were chosen to be carried out. The project aimed to provide advice and guidance on using these tools to facilitate collaboration.

3. For the first time, we have the tools to make
group action truly a reality. And they’re going
to change our whole world.
