Continuous program improvement and expectations of productivity of academic departments necessitate the use of web-based information sharing. This paper outlines how simple-to-use web-based environments such as documents repositories and collaborative ABET workspaces can improve the workflow of an academic department. They can boost the departmental productivity and faculty involvement in many aspects of teaching and accreditation efforts, and assist with faculty, staff and students interaction. Such environments reduce email communications and can vary by their degree of interactivity. Document repositories can be read-only, while interactive workspaces will typically extend read-write privileges to all participants. Furthermore, collaborative workspaces offer a democratic and open environment that encourages faculty and staff interaction. Finally, such workspaces remain easily scalable for projects of any size, and offer simplicity of navigation and easy-to-organize table of contents. The discussion of web-based tools has been illustrated with several examples of departmental repositories and interactive workspaces. Implementation guidelines are also offered for those interested in custom design of such tools.
