Collaboration is a process where two or more people or organizations work together on an assignment to achieve a common final product. Online collaboration tools are changing the way people conduct business, and study in the Twentieth-first Century without having to leave their home or place of work.
One of those collaborative tools that I have found to be very effective is TeamWork Live. TeamWork Live is an intuitive, secure, web-based developed to allow users to work on projects in collaboration with one another. TeamWork Live helps team/groups run their projects more efficiently, increase collaboration and accountability among team member.
Being a student in an online program requires me to work on projects with other students all over the country, and finding a place where we could all talk and review our project in a live format where we can edit the work. We had try several other tools that allowed us to either talk or review the work, but was never able to fully collaborate in one session. We always had to use different tools such as email, text messages, and phone calls, to submit our individual portion of the project, and then wait for an answer. It was really cumbersome to get the job done.
TeamWork Live incorporates viewing, and talking tools that facilitates the participants or group members to make corrections to the project while getting live feedback from the rest of the group. This minimizes the amount of time require to complete the assignment.
The only down side to the site is the access fee.
Excellent choice Chamally, this tool can be very useful in many ways. I could even see it being used among a group in this school. It seems easier then GoogleDocs. I seem to make googleDocs harder than it needs to be. This tool can be useful in both school and business. For the homeschooling side of the house, what a way to share and collaborate among other homeschooler s where parents can collaborate together in the best interest of their students.
ReplyDeleteNice Choice! I like the idea of this tool. Team work could work for a group who is collaborating on one project. I can see some of my broadcast studnets using this tool when they're producing a show. Thanks for sharing.
