21

Feeling towards current solution is mixed

Quite feeling confident with the others, especially GoogleDocs

because you can see immediately the changes.

I am satisfied with Dropbox.

Could exist a better solution.

It is not optimal.

Generally, it is not very practical to have many platforms to check. You just use because there is no alternative.

Satisfactory, it is not perfect but you can do the work.

22

Everyone is already on Facebook and the students are already connected all the time

I am quite forced to use it because all the people use it and everyone is connected to this social network. It’s impossible to escape.

I am always connected because I have a Smartphone so it’s quite easy to keep in touch with team people.

I am already there and I am always connected - There are no multi-homing costs, I don’t have to go and long in into another platform.

However, students agree that Facebook is not for studying, it is very distracting and discussion

tracking is not convenientFacebook is not to study, it’s better to use other platforms for that.

There is too many distractions and I can’t focus on doing my work properly because notifications never stop coming

I consider Facebook as non-efficient and mainly customized to keep in touch with friends and share funny pictures.

The tracking of the comments is horrible – you lose comments, suddenly you have like 30 comments (huge comments sometimes!)

24

Teamwork platforms (Evernote, Azendoo…) are not widely used because they are unknown and no one

is thereConvo, Assana, and Base Camp - These are really good solutions to me, and

very efficient. The only problem is that people don’t know them, and everyone needs to subscribe before we can start teamwork.

No one knows, when you are going to do the work, you don’t even think about them.

Never heard of them.

25

Most suggested solution was an

integration with a current platform

(Facebook or Google)

For me, the ideal would be an interrelation of the various platforms inside one platform already widely used by everyone – Facebook (open API)

Premium version of Facebook for professional use and teamworks.

Facebook with a feature to schedule appointments.

Facebook with the notifications of programs such as Base Camp, Convo, Assana.

Google would be more appropriate, as they already have different sections (Google Docs, Google Forms…) – could create a specific one, for instance inside Google Scholar, with all those features we are planning to provide.

Some very interesting suggestions!

26

Some very interesting suggestions!

It should have a little bit of everything but still be simple and easy to use.

Adapt you business model and try to target the companies.

Gantt diagram, where you have reminders.

Add some Gamification for team building purposes. For example, in the beginning, when we don’t know each other very well yet, to have some kind of team work gaming.

It would be also very helpful to have some kind of evaluation method. I don’t very well how, maybe the number of hours, even though this can be very misleading.

Create a forum inside each fold with different topics of the group work – do not mix ideas.
