Knowledge, Learning, Community

The four practical ways are: co-editing documents, sharing instantaneous feedback, suggesting edits, and sharing and collaborating on a document with more than 100 people. All these are different ways of saying essentially the same thing, which is specifically that more than one person can work on a Google Doc at the same time (a.k.a. 'collaborative editing'). I think collaborative editing is a fantastic teaching tool, and wish the author had spent more time thinking about specific teaching practices rather than just restating the same thing over and over. Other collaborative editing tools include Nextcloud, which has a built-in collaborative document editor, and CryptPad, a privacy-by-design collaborative document editor.
