Uses of CommonSpace

Basically, I've used CommonSpace on a limited scale to promote peer reviews of student writing. CommonSpace allows you to:

link written comments or voice annotations to specific passages in a text
compare different versions of a draft to reveal or keep track of editing changes
conduct real time, networked conferences over a draft document
create writing guides and outlines with collapsed text
import standard word processing documents

CommonSpace is from Sixth Floor Media, part of Houghton Mifflin's College Divison
