Using a document sharing device, such a Google Drive to do this project was very helpful. Being able to have one folder that everyone could put their work into rather than having a long thread of emails back and forth was definitely a pro of using Google Drive. The only thing that did not work was the timing of everyone. It was hard to get everyone to do the project at the same time. It would have been easier to do face to face. Because this is an online course it was hard for everyone to submit their work at the same time. But because of the resourcefulness of Google Drive it was easier to collaborate with each other to do the project.
There are some advantages to working collaboratively online. The biggest one would be able to bring great minds together to work together for a common goal. Students and professionals are able to come together to figure out a problem and find its ultimate solution. In our case, we didn’t need to meet once in person. Rather then try to schedule a time that would work for three people, we each contributed to the piece separately at on our own time. Once the roles were designated, we were all able to make sure we had our portion of the piece submitted at the appropriate time.
I have never done a project like this before, using a shared document to produce a group paper. What I think is a positive of using this is we can working on the paper and make changes to it at any time. We don’t all have to try and figure out a day to meet up and try and writing everything all at once. This method definitely works well with people like me who I play a sport and always am traveling so I could work on the paper while I am away at a game. What I think is hard is we can’t really sit and talk about any questions we have or issues we have with the paper. Everything is done through this program or email which sometimes can make it a little difficult. For a college courses I just think this program is very useful for all types of people and their schedules. The program can do a lot of different activities and I think gives projects a little twist and makes it more interesting.
