During the Supporting Virtual Communities module we experienced technical difficulties with the wiki on Blackboard. This led us to sync.in which allowed us to collaborate on the documents required for the debate and e-tivity. The application allows multiple users to work on a document at the same time with a specific colour allocated to each user so it is possible to view who has made changes. A timeline is also available which allows the user to review the changes made to the document. In addition there is a chat facility that allows users interact with each other while working. This application provided us with an immediate solution to our technical difficulties
