- 7. Scenario #1: GoogleDocs Ernesto and Bob are enrolled in the same course and have a major project to complete at the end of the semester. Ernesto and Bob began discussing the project. From the conversation, Bob realized he might be completing the project incorrectly and asked Ernesto to share his project through GoogleDocs (as a viewer) so that he (Bob) could have an idea of what could be completed. After looking at Ernesto’s project, Bob completes his own project by using some of Ernesto’s work and then adding his own ideas in the conclusion.

The teacher has encouraged students to have someone glance at the papers to ensure errors are caught before the final draft. Kim shares her paper with Marcia and Marcia does the same with Kim. Each student points out mistakes on the other’s essay and makes comments for improvement. The teacher asks for a Revision History in GoogleDocs to see who did what and finds that Kim made more suggestions and corrections than Marcia, and that both students took some of the suggestions the other made but not all.
- 9. Scenario #3: Notemesh Students in a biology class have difficulty understanding the professor’s speech pattern. The students feel that something must be done so they can have a full set of notes because the professor uses lectures as the basis of the exams. The students decide to use Notemesh in order to piece together their notes to fill in the gaps of information. These notes are shared with everyone in the course, including those who rarely attend class.
- 10. Scenario #4: Notemesh Students in a history class begin compiling their notes for an exam. The professor has two different history classes but has been rumored to use similar exams for both classes. Karen, who is in the class that takes the exam first decided to help a friend, Rex, who is enrolled in the second class but she did not know how to contact him. However, she knew that Rex would be using Notemesh to study and she goes into the document to highlight the sections that pertained to questions on her version of the test.
