Humans interact in various forms and through various means. Collaborative technologies (CT) has transcended beyond email, text messages and telephone. They are able to connect people anywhere and anytime transforming the world into one big family. (Wallace, 2015) CT help business, research, teaching and just regular personal relationships. Latest technologies used for collaboration are Skype call, Asana, Kiwi Gmail, Podia, video chat through Viber, Messenger etc. remote desktop, Google drive, shared network for accounting software etc.
Skype video can be used to hold meetings which reduces travel cost, time and can be done from anywhere and anytime. For example, I use Skype to organize video meeting with my coworkers in three different districts to address any problems or issues faced and also used to plan for future. Skype is also used in virtual class in Westcliff University as well. Last month, our lead faculty who lives in the US took a class on Marketing through Skype call making it possible to connect and collaborate between two places a world apart.
I use Google drive to collaborate with my co-staff to track and update financial reports, budgets and transfer done to our partner organization. We have a common shared folder in Google drive where we use shared MS Word and MS Excel files which helps us to work together on the same file, suggest edits, place comments marked with resolve which is set as a reminder until suggestions are clarified. This has helped both of us to be clear on the work, reduce problems of recompilation saving valuable time and making its access possible from anywhere with an internet connection.
"The adoption of these technologies involves changing organizational practices, since work is done through them. Research findings also suggest that indirect effects on innovation exist through the influence of e-information. (Cerdan, Luis, Acosta, & Lop, 2008)” CT not only assists in collaboration but will also be a place to collect e-information and with collaboration among team members comes, innovation will not be far off.
