Whiteboard: Synchronism, accessibility, protagonism and collective authorship for human diversity on Web 2.0

The Whiteboard is a synchronous and collaborative tool projected in line with the accessibility principals and universal design, whose objective is to increase the knowledge socialization and promote the real-time decision making. Aspects resulting from the Culture of Collaboration and Participation are discussed to delineate the Web 2.0, a perspective that will be concrete only with the guarantee of everybody's participation, specially the participation of people with diverse needs. This article considers the implications of the Whiteboard functions and discusses about the validation processes performed with real users in relation to the possible resources that are available to increase individual and collective authorship, to promote the virtual learning cycle and impel practices that value the human diversity.
