Online Collaboration
The purpose of this assignment is to give you experience in collaborating with another professional in your field. You will work with a partner for this assignment. This assignment is done in conjunction with the WORD newsletter assignment.
Requirements as a writer:
- Create two articles for the newsletter. Upload your articles to Microsoft Office Live. Your partner will retrieve your documents, review them, and upload them again for you to finalize. You should save your documents as xxxnewsversion1, where xxx refers to your three initials.
- Once your partner has reviewed your work, he or she will reload your document to Microsoft Office Live for you to retrieve. You must accept five of your partner's suggestions and finalize the document. This should be saved as xxxnewsversion2, where xxx refers to your three initials.
Requirements as a reviewer/editor:
- Download your partner's work from Microsoft Office Live. Using the review, comment, and tracking features, offer 10 suggestions for him/her to improve his/her articles. Save this document as xxxreview, where xxx refers to your partner's initials. Upload the document to Microsoft Office Live so your partner can retrieve it.
Once your work is completed, access Blackboard and load all three files (xxxnewsversion1, xxxnewsversion2, and xxxreview) via the assignment link.
