Document Sharing

There are essentially two main forms of document sharing: applications that support collaborative writing, such as wikis and online word-processing applications (e.g. Google Documents and Zoho Writer), and systems that provide repositories for the sharing and circulation of texts and other media. A related category includes project management tools, which often include both repository and collaboration features.

Common Features:
  • Read and Read/Write Sharing Options
  • Publishing
  • Cross Account Sharing vs. Email Sharing
  • Tracking Versions "history"
  • Simultaneous Editing
  • Importing/Exporting
Tips
  • If you need polished formatting, develop content in Google Docs then download to MS or Open Office to do final formatting and printing.
  • Explicitly show student show to insert comments instead of just making changes.
  • If you are going to grade student comments, make sure to tell the original authors to start revising in a new document.

How have you used document sharing and collaboration in your own scholarship? What have you learned from this experience (and can it be translated into the areas of pedagogy and individual use?)
Do you find this valuable?
