There are many online tools or downloadable software that can help you work on group projects. It is important to agree on which tools your group will use at the beginning of the project.

You will probably use more than one tool to complete your work.

File sharing

You can upload and share documents with your group using cloud storage. This means everyone can access the files from anywhere.

Project management

These tools help you see all parts of your assessment clearly. You can assign tasks to group members, leave comments, and track progress.

Communication and conferencing

These tools allow you to talk with your group using your phone or computer. You can also use video calls, share your screen, and more.

Scheduling

These tools help you find times when everyone is available and send calendar invites to the group.

Collaborative workspaces

These tools allow you to work together on documents in real time. You can ask questions, make suggestions, and see how the assessment is progressing.

Brainstorming

These tools help you organise and rearrange ideas visually. They are useful for planning and creative thinking.
