Question

Imagine that you are working on a group science project that involves running several lab experiments, discussing the results as a group, and then publishing a short report summarizing any interesting data the group found. The group decides that each member will conduct experiments on their own, then share their findings with the whole group. The group will decide together which findings should be summarized in the report. Which online collaborative platform functions would be most useful in this scenario? Select the two correct answers.

document sharing for co-writing and co-editing

In the scenario described, the two most useful online collaborative platform functions would be:

1. **Document sharing for co-writing and co-editing** - This allows group members to create and edit a shared document where they can compile their findings, finalize the report, and ensure that everyone's contributions are included.

2. **Chat functions for leaving comments and providing feedback** - This feature facilitates ongoing communication among group members, allowing them to discuss their individual findings, provide feedback on each other's work, and engage in dialogue about what should be included in the report.

These functions would effectively support the collaborative nature of the project where individual experiments are shared and collectively evaluated.
