New Developments in ROCKET: Collaborative Web-based Workspaces for Sharing Information and Documents Jacqueline Kirby September 28, 2012

What is ROCKET? ROCKET is a web-based tool for sharing information and documents, allowing members of a workspace to collaborate more effectively and efficiently by building and sharing web pages.

Who can access ROCKET? Anyone Any member of the Vanderbilt and Meharry communities (with a valid VUNet ID and password) can access ROCKET and create a workspace on StarBRITE. External users can be added to a workspace by a Vanderbilt or Meharry workspace owner/admin. External users only can access existing workspaces in collaboration with a Vanderbilt/Meharry user. They only need to be invited to a space to get access.
