TLINC Project Platform

The TLINC project utilizes an online platform called Tapped In. After careful thought and thorough research, Tapped In was selected because its features best met the needs of the project. The TLINC project leases a virtual building, in which each site partner hosts their own “floor.” Groups meet in “rooms” on their site’s floor. Each participant has their own virtual office they can customize.

Features of Tapped In include:

• Synchronous chats
• Asynchronous threaded discussions
• File sharing
• Ability to post on the whiteboard and to post notes
• Ability to link to outside websites
• Customization of site
