Using Google Docs to Share and Collaborate

Google Documents allow the live updating of a shared workspace.

However, there are limits on the number of synchronous collaborators for each Doc type.

10 people can edit a Presentation at the same time.
50 people can edit a Spreadsheet simultaneously.
50 people can edit a Document at the same time.

There is a limit of 200 combined viewers/ collaborators for all of the different Doc types.

Classwork:
Add your name to this spreadsheet. Add your resting and active heart rates to the sheet

Homework:
Use formula's and functions to analyze, average, chart and explore the data.

Can you notice any trends?

  1. What about sending different data of a particular file in bits and pieces to 100 users??
    Can somebody share some alternatives to these kinda database management tools??? I've heard about CollateBox http://www.collatebox.com and NeedleBase. Can somebody tell how these tools would be??

  2. Google Docs is still being developed. While many of Google Docs' features are useful and reliable,
    others don't work as well. As we talked about in class, for example, Google Spreadsheets has fewer features than Microsoft Excel which is frustrating for the more tech savvy users.

    I personally have never used these alternatives you talk about, but would also be interested on the improvements they suggest they offer?
