Collaboration 

Collaboration is a group of people working as a team to reach a common goal. we also applied collaboration by providing and Receiving negative feedback, by discussing assignments during and outside of class that allows us to revise any mistakes and improve in areas that need correction with new ideas.

Types of Collaboration: 

1) Gant Chart

Since content sharing is the second major function of collaboration, we shared our data with version management, which provided us the benefit of tracking the changes to documents, and functions to accommodate concurrent work. the alternative we chose is google drive. We also used blogger.com to create the blog to describe our project. we all worked together in the different sections, to make sure every task was completed.






Another useful collaboration tool is the Gantt Chart, which illustrates our project's schedule, and helps us plan and complete the activities before deadline.

2) Synchronous Collaboration

Synchronous means there are tools that allow people to connect with each other at the same time. Therefore, by using Synchronous collaboration, our team was able to use text, phone calls, and other direct forms of communication in able to collaborate in the group work. Our group also was able to meet in person to cooperate in assisting each other with the correct or incorrect information that was needed for the company.

3) Asynchronous Collaboration

Asynchronous means that the communication with the group is less direct, and therefore the information or ideas shared are delayed. In our group, we used email, which allowed us to communicate, but also to share certain files on Google Docs, which allowed us to finish a project or presentation when we each found the time to work on it.
