This was possible with the paper notebooks, but we believed the electronic platformwould allow for this collaboration more easily.While the contexts of the examples above are different than our context, they help support theinitial implementation of the electronic notebooks. They also highlight the possibleenhancements to the educational experience that can be gained from the use of electronicnotebooks.
