“Anecdotally, I knew that Adobe Connect, Skype, and Google Docs were key emerging technologies that supported students in the successful completion of group work in online and blended courses. The data gathered and analyzed about student use of tools in this case study verified that the tools most beneficial and valued by students for collaborative group in an online class were, in fact, Adobe Connect, Skype, and Google Docs. These tools are important for the categories they represent of class web conferencing tools; 1-1 and small group web conferencing tools; and collaborative document creation tools. Thus, for the near future in online course design and development, these are the recommended tools and categories of tools for anyone when designing for group work in online or blended courses.”
