CABPortal: leveraging collective intelligence to improve sustainability of web-based portals

Abstract

CABPortal is a web-based portal designed to make resources associated with the CAB (Collaborating Across Boundaries) model publicly available. Resources include: examples of course collaborations, projects, assessment instruments, and other artifacts and resources developed during this project. Our goal is to leverage concepts such as human computation and collective intelligence in CABPortal to motivate potential adopters to become active participants in the dissemination and sustainability of a project. We added functionality, redesigned some of the pages, and fixed bugs to improve the user experience of our audience.
