Definition
- C3MS stands for Community, Collaboration, Content Management System, i.e. portal software that allows to manage a community, collaboration between members and contents.
- DSchneider claims to have invented the term in the Community, Content and Collaboration Management Systems: Socio-Constructivist Scenarios for the Masses? short paper presented at Ed-Media 2002. The idea was to be able to trace impact of our ideas on educational designs. On october 2004 for "C3MS education" there were 380 hits on Google, on march 14000 hits (a typical growth pattern).
- Variants: "Community, content, collaborative management system", Community, Content, and Collaborative Management System", "Communicate, Collaborate & Coordinate Management System".
C3MS in education
While one can observe a boom of interest for e-learning in the last 2-3 years, current e-learning systems rather focus on content delivery, as opposed to supporting students to solve more complex and open-ended tasks. We are convinced by the effectiveness of socio-constructivist pedagogies in education and struck by the apparent lack of widely deployed supporting tools. We would like to argue that a large number of rich educational scenarios can be supported at reasonable cost by the emerging brand of modular Community, Content and Collaboration Management Systems (C3MS). In order to explore this hypothesis we started deploying such architectures with a few selected teachers and we are working on our own custom modules."
