Hello, I am a new member to the E-learning Heroes forum. I am researching collaboration tools for a newbie learning designer and wanted to ask your opinion on which one you feel was the most bang for your buck. Ideally, looking for a free tool even if it has minimal features. I have found Zoho and Red Stamp but wanted to know if you have others ou prefer? Thanks, Jenna

I like base camp and for reviewing courses you cannot beat Review My Elearning

ActiveCollab is a little like Basecamp. Any of these tools can work if everyone on the team is committed to them. I've used an Excel spreadsheet to articulate and track schedule. A Google Spreadsheet is pretty snazzy for tracking both schedule and defects. I've recently started playing with Realtimeboard for project planning. Someone mentioned it in another thread. I really like it so far. Though I think I could do similar with a Google Presentation or Drawing. Still neat to use with some great tools.

I've also had some success with Trac from edgewall. It's free but requires some tech-fu to configure your own server. It's made for software development but can work for other things. It integrates with source control, so for lots of moving parts, it works pretty well. Downsides to this one: You need a server / server admin with some configuration chops It's made for techies. So if anyone on the team isn't comfortable, it's nearly useless

I like Replicon for project management. The reason behind mine liking the tool is that its hassle free in experience and manage the projects subdividing into small small tasks and assign it to the team members working for it. In such a situation what happens is the work is done up with more accuracy and specific. The tool basically is based on a cloud based platform and the user friendliness of the same in terms of the navigation and usability makes it a useful tool for me.

  Indeed Rakesh S,
  
  Technology has become so obsolete rapidly that we should launch again this discussion.
  
  In my case, I'm using Asana even if the Premium Fee is $$$. I've heard about Notion.com that seems to be amazing.

Google Drive: It's a free cloud-based storage solution that allows you to share files, documents, and folders with other team members. You can collaborate in real-time, leave comments, and track changes.

Trello: It's a visual collaboration tool that helps you organize and prioritize tasks. You can create boards, lists, and cards to keep track of your progress. It's free to use, but there are paid plans available for additional features.

Slack: It's a team communication tool that allows you to send messages, share files, and collaborate in real-time. It's free for small teams, but there are paid plans for larger organizations.

Asana: It's a project management tool that helps you track tasks, assign them to team members, and monitor progress. It's free for small teams, but there are paid plans for additional features.

Zoom: It's a video conferencing tool that allows you to hold virtual meetings and webinars. It's free for meetings up to 40 minutes, but there are paid plans for longer meetings and additional features.

Overall, each of these tools has its strengths and weaknesses, so it's essential to evaluate which one best suits your needs and the needs of your team.
