UVAGUVAG Observations & Conclusions: Virtual and collaborative design environments have been at best working prototypes that are too difficult to use as a day-to-day application. Better API’s are needed so that scientists, engineers, and educators can build their own applications based on the content within their discipline. The best designed collaborative environments will work only within existing collaborative groups.
