Computer Supported Collaborative Work

                                                    Varinder Singh Grewal

I took up this class as I am interested in collaborative work in modern computer field. Collaboration goes on in most of web and mobile applications i use with other users or other systems. So all media services or communication platforms we use commonly now a day  are collaborative in one way or another.

This course will help me in understanding the different forms of collaboration in depth and how it can be made better.Also hands on approach on project on this technology will expose me to  computer tools which are definitely required by any software professional before entering industry.
