Collaborative Wiki Project

Collaborative writing project seems to be the easiest project as you can allocate some part of the task among peers and work together to foster the assignment. But to start, first you need someone in the group who will take the lead of the whole process: a pushy person who will lead the group till the completion of the project. As I go back to my studies at the University where new technologies where not part of the learning process this would be a very time-consuming project, as we had to find some time to get together with the group, to decide on the task allocation. Nowadays students are really granted with great technology solutions to make the process more successful and enjoyable. The teacher just assigns a writing task students create a shared doc, and each of them starts working on their part of the task. No need to get together to discuss things, this can be done on distance, through the commenting function of the shared doc. Moreover, students can access, comment, edit through their smartphones, even no need to carry laptops. I, have personally experienced the joyful moment of using a shared doc during my first-year studies at MA TEFL. On Saturdays I would take my sons to the children' cafe, they would play, I would do my assignments. What could be better? In case of a working mother student, shared docs are the best solutions, you do not need to be physically with the group to discuss, finalize and release the task.
