Writing a book with students, using Google docs as shared learning environment: an experience
by Axel Benz
International Journal of Innovation in Education (IJIIE), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2010

Abstract: Google docs are used as shared learning environment to write a book together with 33 last semester Business Information Systems bachelor level students. Intentions, expectations, implementation and results of this experience are described. A rubric for the grading in similar projects is presented. The conclusion is, that writing a book together is an excellent way of higher semester, problem-based learning, but technical limitations still prevent the author from repeating the experience with Google docs. A more mature tool will be used in future.
