1.0 Project Planning
- 1.1 Product Description: A collaborative “Living Document” (like a project plan or group report) hosted on Microsoft OneDrive. The purpose is to allow multiple people to contribute simultaneously while maintaining a single, up-to-date version.
- 1.2 Skills Needed:
- File Sharing: Generating a sharing link for specific people.
- Commenting: Leaving notes for others without editing their text directly.
- Saving to Cloud: Moving a local
.docxfile to a cloud-based folder.
- 1.3 New Skills Description: Functional Reviewing & Version Control. This means knowing how to turn on Track Changes so others can see your edits and knowing how to find an older version of the document if someone accidentally deletes a section.
2.0 Plan for Skills Acquisition
- 2.1 Plan for obtaining new skill: I will use the Microsoft 365 Quick Start Guide for Collaboration which focuses on the basic buttons and menus needed for teamwork.
- 2.2 Plan for Demonstration:
- Share: Successfully invite one other person to the document with “Edit” permissions.
- Comment: Tag a partner using @name to ask a question.
- Review: Turn on “All Markup” to show where text was added or removed.
- Recover: Open the Version History pane to prove I can see who changed what and when.
3.0 Scheduling
- 3.1 Scheduling – Plan:
- Day 1: Learn to upload and share a file via the “Share” button in Word.
- Day 2: Practice leaving comments and resolving them.
- Day 3: Test “Track Changes” with a partner and review the “Version History.”
- 3.2 Tracking: Document if the “AutoSave” feature was confusing or if there were issues with the “Desktop App” vs. the “Web App.”
