10 great online collaboration tools for designers

10 great online collaboration tools for designers | Digital Collaboration and the 21st C. | Scoop.it
These interactive, real-time collaboration tools make designers' work easier - wherever you are in the world.

 

A team of designers does not always work in the same office; you work in distributed groups, and clients can be based all over the world. This is where collaboration tools come in - they make it easier and faster for designers to get feedback and approve artwork in a professional manner.

 

These apps come in many varying formats, with some that are created specifically for designers, some that serve as a concept crafting whiteboard, those with tools to make simple annotations, and some are all-in-one web apps that include an element of project management.

 

Here we gather together 10 of the best available online tools to allow designers to take part in collaborational work in real time.

 

The first five tools are for collaboration on existing work and mock-ups, whereas the latter five (from 06. to 10.) are best used for concept drafting and brainstorming.

I'm always on the lookout for tools a Web team can use to increase their efficiency and love survey articles listing tools. This is a good collection for designers.

Social collaboration improves team efficiency by 20% (infographic)

Social collaboration improves team efficiency by 20% (infographic) | Digital Collaboration and the 21st C. | Scoop.it

Social collaboration is becoming increasingly important within organisations and it’s easy to see why. Research outlined in this infographic demonstrates how collaborative software can significantly improve team efficiency.

 

According to a recent survey, online collaboration tools will play an important role in 75% of businesses by 2013. As we are already accustomed to social networking with friends, family and (sometimes) customers, using social software to collaborate within organisations seems a logical progression.


Despite this, it is astonishing to see how much time companies waste by using email for internal communications. Professionals send and receive over 300 business emails a week and spend an average of 2-hours a day reading and responding to them. Just as worrying is the number of documents we share using email – an average 15 a day. This makes it impossible for more than one person to make edits and it quickly becomes difficult to keep track of changes.


This handy infographic from Clinked (above) shows how social collaboration software can remedy this. Collaboration tools can help to reduce email volume by 30% and make it 33% faster for teams to draft documents. According to one study, 97% using of businesses using social software said they could service more clients, more efficiently.

By this source, I would assume people would have grasped the idea of CI, and its presence in an online world. This infographic explains through facts and figures the power that the internet has at impacting CI. These facts are somewhat astounding (although a few years outdated) as we witness how collaborative software and the internet are able to improve productivity. 

This infographic shows a more physical impact that CI has in a modern world as we begin to understand just how often we use it with websites such as Facebook, Wikipedia, Gmail.

Published on a social media professionals blog, this is an explanation of certain insights in a way in which people who aren't necessarily tech-savvy can understand. Going through his other posts, I believe he is also a big online curator and find him to be a trusted and authoritative source.

"...Because learning isn’t putting content in little boxes to be handed to kids one after another only to have the boxes thrown away quickly after the handling. To be forgotten in an effort to remember the next in the long line to which they can’t see the end.

 

It’s letting the kids discover what’s in the boxes. And how to get it out of the boxes. And why the boxes even matter in the first place.

 

It’s setting a goal, establishing an environment to realize the goal, and trusting in the capacity of human potential. Student potential.

And sometimes, it’s just getting out of their way...."

When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you must think of a reason to start over. There’s a big difference between giving up and starting over in the right direction. And there are three little words that can release you from your past regrets and guide you forward to a positive new beginning. These words are: “From now on…”

Of the 3 types of collaboration, which type do you need?

Of the 3 types of collaboration, which type do you need? | Digital Collaboration and the 21st C. | Scoop.it

This is a post from Shawn Callahan – Founder of Anecdote.

 

Collaboration is a process through which people who see different aspects of a problem can constructively explore their differences and search for solutions that go beyond their own limited vision of what is possible.  And today it’s more than groups of people working together as teams and communities. Collaboration generates new ideas and new solutions that emerge from the interplay of these perspectives, experience and knowledge that help us get work done, coming from people both inside and outside an organisation, well-known and, yes, even strangers. We can have long-lasting collaboration—or short-term, formal or ad-hoc.

 

Older models of collaboration tended to focus on teams and formal, structured collaboration. We have more options now. Here are three types of collaboration and how we might approach them as an organisation: 

 

1. Team collaboration

2. Community collaboration

3. Network collaboration
