New Course in Online Collaboration
Summary
With globalization of business, manufacturing, and IT development, there has been a significant
improvement in technologies such as SharePoint and WebEx. However, both new and existing
workforces have not been adequately trained for using the technologies in efficient ways. Businesses
need employees capable of communicating and working together with team members geographically
located far apart from each other. Furthermore, these tools are becoming common in traditional
working environments as well. More businesses are using SharePoint as a main communication channel
and information repository.
Technologies to Consider:
 MS SharePoint as the main platform
 Yahoo/Google Groups
 Google Docs
 MS Office Live
 MS Groove and OneNote
 WebEx and ElluminateIn
 SecondLife
Digital Communication Skills
 Netiquette
 Digital communications culture
 Communication templates
 Strategies for effective communication and teamwork
