This webinar demonstrates an overview of Google Documents used for word processing, spreadsheet applications, presentations, surveys and calendars as well as video and text chatting. Participants will receive a step-by-step guide to help get started as well as gain ideas for classroom and departmental collaboration

We are professionals with demanding schedules. Technology is available to assist but may complicate our communication as we struggle with multiple attempts sending and receiving documents. We re-read redundant messages, and await responses from others. Collaboration has become important not only in the office environment but as a part of student learning. Changing paradigms in education suggest students learn best when partnered with others.

University of the People (UoPeople) - a non-profit, tuition-free, online academic institution – aims at building a model capable of opening access to higher education for those currently constrained due to financial, geographic or societal restraints. By amalgamating open source technology, open educational resources, peer-to-peer learning and the goodwill of qualified volunteers, UoPeople is able to provide the opportunity of higher education for deprived individuals. Additionally, UoPeople’s model is capable of impacting higher education globally as parts of this model are adopted or replicated within universities and governments – thus scaling down the overall cost of higher education.
