Collaborative Writing tool (a web application)

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the design of a web application, and results of its use, regarding collaborative writing. The objective of this web application is to help both students and professors to increase effectiveness, performance, save time, make their life easier yet it will provide a sophisticated way of their collaborative work. All users of the system will be able to share information and communicate over the internet in order to manage their ideas and mostly their writing process. Professors will be able to easily manage large amount of projects and save valuable time in order to achieve the best results. It was the late of 80s when researchers found that a group’s effort resulted in better document than when they worked alone and such collaborative writing tools be really helpful not only for educational staff but also for workers in operational departments. My personal experience in private sector as a team leader helped me to understand the importance of such tools and motivated me to start my research in this field. The purpose of this project is not to deprecate current technologies but to find better ways in collaborative writing.
