Geek Salad meets Tuesday Jan 6 at 7-8 AM at Kaldi's on 9th and Cherry

Are you aware of any slick collaboration tools?

 

·         I am able to use SharePoint to do document collaboration. Not easy.

·         I’ve done several document collaborations now on Google Docs. It’s pretty easy. I’ve tripped myself up by not making a document public in time. I like seeing the older versions.

·         I’ve never edited anything on Wikipedia, though I’ve peeked under the hood.

 

Most of my academic colleagues are still sending around Word documents. Some, but not most, are using the Review feature that lets one add annotations, which you can show or hide. Someone then has to come along and add the suggested changes.

 

Google Spreadsheets and Forms are an easy way to make simple online surveys.

If you want branching logic, you need to use Survey Monkey. Or maybe Sean Goggins has a new product from Lanit…

Try Zoomerang for online surveys - they have free accounts (more bang than Survey Monkey's free account)and also offer discounts to those in the education field on their subscription accounts.
