Online applications

I have used Google Apps for various tasks, I have used a RAID log to assist in the management of a journals review project that took place earlier last year and found it to be a useful project management tool.

I have also explored the Google Apps sites and used this with Ellie & Alice to create subject profiles for ALL's which are linked to from the University webpages. These were quite straightforward to create and have the opportunity for lots of functionality, there is also the benefit of being able to edit pages directly.

The collaborative elements of both the applications were valuable especially when working on tasks with cross site colleagues, although I have found that Google Apps (Docs) in particular can suffer from delays in saving changes etc. which can be a little frustrating at times.
