:: Cal Poly Collaboration Tool Matrix ::

People in a huddleDiscover conferencing and collaboration tools for real-time document sharing and editing, discussion forums, brainstorming, idea generation and group productivity.  There are a growing number of collaboration tools available for use by individuals or groups. Some are already available on your PC desktop, notebook computer or via office phone.

Purpose - Provide a simple to understand menu of user collaboration requirements mapped to the supported tools available to address those needs.  Encourage individuals to explore new and different means to connect and work with others.  The menus are shown in Faculty, Student and Staff centric views.

Groups with Groups (Many to Many)
