Colaborative Writing Tools
Workshop Abstract “Collaborative writing” is an instructional method that enables students to team work on an assignment. Each team member can produce a part of a larger assignment individually and then “assemble” the parts together to get the final assignment. Whether for a term-long project with several outcomes or a single activity during class, collaborative writing can differ significantly in scope and aims. Working from home to elaborate homework tasks, in schools between classes, or conducting projects across nations and countries became a reality through “Collaborative writing”. CW Tools develop learning and writing skills in an interactive and innovative way. The contributions of both individuals and teams can be accountable and assessed once the right tool is selected. During this workshop, the participants will be called to write a circle story using one of the free online programmes as to discover the practicality of the task.

Editor's Notes
- –aids in problem finding as well as problem solving. –aids in learning abstractions. –aids in transferand assimilation; it fosters interdisciplinary thinking. –leads not only to sharper, more critical thinking(students must explain, defend, adapt), but to a deeper understanding of others. –leads to higher achievement in general. . . . –promotes excellence. In this regard, I am fond of quoting Hannah Arendt: 'For excellence, the presence of others [collaboration] is always required.‘ –engages the whole student and encourages active learning; it combines reading, talking, writing, thinking; it provides practice in both synthetic and analytic skills." (Andrea Lunsford, "Collaboration, Control, and the Idea of a Writing Center." The Writing Center Journal, 1991) http://grammar.about.com/od/c/g/Collaborative-Writing.htm
- The success of collaborative writing depends on the clarity of objectives rather than on the tool itself. Technology comes second.
