Abstract :
Multiphase groupware supports people during both the individual and interactive phases of a collaboration. The integration of one such multiphase program into a real-time multimedia conferencing environment is discussed. The discussion is based on descriptions of two implementations of a multiphase groupware program, Collaborative Annotator, each using the real-time multimedia conferencing environment provided by the Rapport system. These descriptions highlight design decision and functional capabilities of each implementation approach
