ICT tools to develop and adapt OER

In this chapter we will overview ICT tools that can be used to develop/adapt OER in document format.

 Google Docs

Google Docs allows to create and format text documents online using the browser.  All changes are saved automatically. Several people can work on the same document and edit it in the real time. You can grant other people the right to edit document or only to view it and write the comments.

• Add flair and formatting to your documents by adjusting margins, spacing, fonts, and colors — all that fun stuff
• Invite other people to collaborate on a document with you, giving them edit, comment or view access
• Collaborate online in real time and chat with other collaborators — right from inside the document
• View your document's revision history and roll back to any previous version
