Collaborative Technology in the Library and Belk Lab

In order to enhance the group study experience with technology, ITS is offering the use of TeamSpot, a collaborative software intended for group assignments, in three locations on campus. Faculty and students can find TeamSpot in the two new collaborative rooms in the Belk lab, as well as in the Library's 24 Hour Room.

With TeamSpot you can:

- Develop group projects such as papers, presentations and assignments on a common screen by editing from their personal laptops in both Windows and Mac OS

- Easily move files between computers by dragging and dropping

- Copy and paste URLs, images or text across computers

- Easily discover and share online materials and data

- Create an archive of information shared during the group session

- Work on parallel tasks and then quickly integrate the results

All of this is done without needing to switch video cables or email files to each other.

If you would like to learn more about how to use Team Spot for your group assignments, please contact Shauna'h Fuegen, Student Computing Services Coordinator (shfuegen@davidson.edu).
