• Using Google docs in a university writing class for peer review, forms, polls, and other types of online collaboration.

University Supported

• LMS - The LMS can be used to create webpages that combine text, images, video and other assets. In Canvas, you can even give students permission to co-create these pages. [View tutorial for Canvas]
• MS Office & Adobe Acrobat - Microsoft Office and Abobe Acrobat Pro are provided by the university. These can be used to edit and create PDFs and other documents which can be uploaded to the LMS.
• Office 365 - Cloud-based access to the latest versions of Microsoft software (eg. Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint) from any browser (including mobile) in an integrated fashion designed to support collaboration within the organisation.

• Sway - Create and share interactive reports, personal stories, or stand-alone presentations that seamlessly combine images, video and more. Available to staff as part of Office 365.

Unsupported

• Google Docs - publicly available collaborative document creation and file storage. Create text docs, slides, spreadsheets and forms/polls. Make docs private or share with specific people (ie. students/staff/others). Can be useful for working with external collaborators (since uni-supported tech is only internal). Requires participants to have free Google accounts. (free)
