ABSTRACT
Wulf (1989) defined a collaboratory as a “’center without walls,’ in which the nation’s researchers can perform their research without regard to geographical location—interacting with colleagues, accessing instrumentation, sharing data and computational resources, [and] accessing information in digital libraries.” We shall present the ePresence system, an open source interactive real-time webcasting and multimedia archiving solution. We sketch how it could be extended and applied to enable research and collaborative use of video-as-data by a worldwide community of educational researchers, teachers, and learners. Particular emphasis will be placed on how the system supports representation, reflection, interaction and collaboration.
