From Note Taking to Message Boarding

So I see 3 applications:

1. Ubiquitous Presenter
2. NoteBlogger - Professor Edition (C# based)
3. NoteBlogger - Student Edition (Web based)

From my experience, I believe #3 has the most potential. Potential for what you ask?

The best way for students to augment their learning is by receiving information from many channels, their peers rather than only the professor. This can be utilized inside or outside the classroom. Imagine if every class had a "blog" (for lack of better term right now) automatically generated that all enrolled students were allowed to participate in. During class they could ask questions, make suggestions or new friends (they don't even need to be sitting next to them!) by signing on to the class chat/message board/ blog/ whatever you want to call it. This allows for additional channels of information during lectures via other students and TAs. This feature seems to be functional (in the form of personal chats) though not set-up for many-to-many collaboration.

The other side of this would be to use it for study groups. I used the cogsci wiki in the past as ad-hoc online study groups. The problem was announcing it to the class and even then who the hell am I? why should they study with me? If the application was fronted by the school it would add the necessary prestige to appeal to more students. So this version of noteblogger would help to coordinate online collaborative study sessions. They could even be saved for later use (if for later classes to access?).

I believe if we are smart about framing our initial questions (please take the above as a a very rough draft idea) we could design a single implementation that could seamlessly tackle both issues. So, whadya think?
