Collaborative Writing Software

This is the new collaborative software I mentioned in our last meeting.

http://www.writely.com

It allows us to collaboratively write papers and track our changes. Sylvia, Jen, and I are signed up to use it already.

You can join the waiting list by going to their site (which might take a month or two) or I can make you instant users by inviting you to collaborate on a specific document. If you would like an invitation, just let me know and I will take care of it. Take care.

I have invited a member of the IRB team to speak with us at our next Research Group meeting on June 2. I have asked her to speak about the IRB process and specifically student consent forms as we discussed. I will keep you posted and let you know when we have a confirmed session. The session when confirmed should be most interesting and useful.
