Collaboration technology and its applications in group work

Collaboration technology has a variety of uses in a school setting and even business settings. This technology can particularly be very beneficial to students working on group projects. Collaboration technology gives students an additional way to communicate with one another; this proves very effective because students are generally “always busy” and don’t have time to meet as a group.

Collaboration technologies make it easy to work on one project simultaneously from different locations. Document sharing and editing is just one of the benefits students can utilize when working together on a project. These technologies also can provide chatting, photo sharing, presentation editing, and many other applications that can aid group productivity. Classroom group work is much more efficient with the use of collaboration technologies and needs to be utilized more often.
