Thing 3 & 4 - Collaboration Tools and File Sharing

I believe the collaboration aspect is very significant in the journey of a researcher. It is always great to gain feedback and perspectives on parts of the research you have been working on. There are located and cloud aspects of collaboration.

When working on any research project, the progress of the research project is best communicated to your research group via located presentations on the research and then asking for the audience input.

  For cloud research sharing, I believe some great collaboration tools could help in getting your work out there and open for comment:

> twitter
> Google Docs
> Prezi
> Slideshare

You may  also want to share referencing resources for which EndNote Web is another great collaboration tool!

File Sharing - I mainly use Google Docs for file sharing purposes. The greatest benefit I find in this tool is that users can edit files in real time simultaneously!
In terms of security, only the users that you share the docs with have access to the material.

  1. Thanks Meena.
    Google Docs/Drive is certainly a great tool for file sharing and collaborating.
    We look at Prezi and SlideShare in other *things*- so great to see you highlighting them here as well
