Current Version of RISAL (Repository of Interactive Social Assets for Learning)
Over the last ten months the authors have been engaged in development of a social space that integrates bookmarking, repository and networking. This system is called RISAL—Repository of Interactive Social Assets for Learning. The system builds on and encourages the Web 2.0 culture of social networking among students and teachers with similar interests or learning/teaching foci across levels and programs. The system is built using open source tools and enhancements are being made with the integration of more features. Figure 1 shows the structure of the RISAL space. The system interface with explanation of its functions is displayed in Figure 2.
