If you are student, professor, or researcher, you will find that Kerika is very well designed to meet your collaboration needs. Here's why:

• Kerika is free! If you sign up with a .edu email address, you get unlimited use of the software and service!


• Kerika works on Macs, Windows and Linux: Most collaboration tools on offer today work only on Windows, which is a real drawback when you have so many Mac, and even Linux, users on campus.
   
  With Kerika you don't need to get everyone on Windows just to get them all on the same page.


• Work from campus, home or coffee shop: No matter where you are, Kerika will hook you up with the rest of your team: in just seconds you can build a people-to-people network that brings together people working from campus, home or coffee shop.


• Kerika is compelling for creative people: Tools like SharePoint and BlackBoard force you to deal with just plain old lists (lists of courses, lists of files, lists of lists...) Lists can be useful, of course, but they don't help you understand the big picture.
   
  With Kerika, on the other hand, you can sketch out your projects, add documents, Web links, pictures, and sticky notes, and share this with other students, instructors and teaching assistants. Instructors and TAs can lay out a process flow at the time they assign a group project, to help jump-start their student groups, or use one of Kerika's many built-in templates (or create their own templates!)


• Kerika is great for managing documents: Kerika comes with a simple, flexible, document management system that automatically files everything for you and your team: all the comments and all the different versions.


• Kerika lets you share large files: Students tend to create relatively large documents because they like to embed digital media (pictures, sound, etc.) into their presentations and reports.
   
  Unfortunately, most email systems choke when presented with a typical student report. But not Kerika!


• Kerika offers great privacy: Researchers who are working on sensitive projects need to be remember that with free hosted services you can kiss your privacy goodbye.
   
  Kerika lets you set up, in just a couple of minutes, your very own private network. At no extra cost.


• Kerika offers project and process templates: Instructors can easily create Templates to help their students get started on their assignments: these Templates could include process flows, sample documents, and useful Web links.


• And Kerika even works with people who are not Kerika users! Here's the best part: you can put together a team where some people won't use Kerika, because Kerika can automatically send emails to these people whenever any of your projects or documents gets updated.
   
  These emails summarize the changes in the project and come with relevant attachments: for example, if you update a document or modify an Idea Page, your team members will get a copy of the document and a screen shot of the Idea Page.
   
  This lets you get started with using Kerika without waiting for everyone else on your project team to come on board.
