 Abstract: | Researchers and Lecturers have many software options to write papers and course material on their own, but fewer options when they want to collaborate with others. USQ has developed some systems (eg GOOD and ICE) that can be used by non-technical persons, each having strengths and weaknesses. In this seminar we present our findings on using Google Docs (formerly Writely.com) and compare it to other approaches. A live demo of Google Docs is included in the seminar. In addition, we demo an extension to the system that we developed to generate high-quality output. |
