NCSA Habanero is a collaborative framework and set of applications
that allow users to share tasks from remote locations in real time
over the Internet. It also enables developers of groupware
applications to build powerful collaborative software in a reduced
amount of time. Since Habanero is written in Java, it will run under
any operating system that supports JDK 1.1.X. The Habanero framework,
or API, provides the necessary libraries that developers can call
upon to create or convert existing applications into collaborative
applications. The Habanero applications consist of a client, a server
and a variety of tools.

By J. Olin Campbell. An Asynchronous Learning Network (ALN) is a
people network for learning that is largely asynchronous. It combines
self-study with substantial, rapid, asynchronous interactivity with
others. In ALNs learners use computer and communications technologies
to work with remote learning resources, including coaches and other
learners, but without the requirement to be online at the same time.
