Top online tools to connect and collaborate
By MAS Team | 22 April 2020
We're all guilty of spending heaps of time online. But now with lectures and group projects online too, it's easy to miss connecting with our Profs and uni mates IRL.
Luckily, being an online student in 2020 has perks. Like tonnes of apps and online tools to help you connect and collaborate. Skype and Zoom? So March 2020. Here's what you need.
Sometimes you just need a space to bounce around all the questions in your head. And the more help – the better. That's where these easy-to-use group chats do the trick.
Group chats are great, but face time is better. Plus, if you're a visual learner these new video chat apps are a must. Best part? Unlike real life, you can mute anyone, anytime.
Okay, so you may have heard of these. But they're classics for a reason. Use the various Google apps for collaborating on essays, reports, presentations, spreadsheets and more.
You might work better when you can scribble down your thoughts. And it it's a visual project with others, you'll want an interactive space to share your creative ideas. Enter: Miro, Stormboard and Twiddla.
Probably the hardest part of jumping into online learning is not seeing familiar faces every day. But there's still plenty of ways to chill together and have a laugh 'after school'.
