Hey Carissa, Have you looked at Trello (https://trello.com/)? It's a good task management tool with both web and mobile apps so your team can collaborate from multiple devices. Works with a digital card-based interface where you make project lists and move cards from list to list as needed (i.e. To Do, Doing, Done or whatever you choose to name them). You can assign team members to cards and everyone can add comments, checklists, attachments, notifications, etc. to each card for variety of ways to share info.
We use it in the registrar's office at the Modern to manage outgoing loans and TMS-related projects such as new report designs/ideas. Plus, basic account is free. And then there's Slack, which I haven't used, but I know it's popular in the tech world... https://slack.com/. Good luck, Brent Mitchell Head Registrar Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth T: 817.840.2149 -----Original Message----- From: mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Carissa Dougherty Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 3:36 PM To: Museum Computer Network Listserv Subject: Re: [MCN-L] Google+ as internal collaboration tool? Thanks, Ari... Yes, I can see how personal/work elements could get intermixed, and potential security issues... Fortunately, I am actually thinking less about document management and more about informal conversations and idea-sharing. I've tried Google Classroom, but it is a bit too one-sided (i.e., instructor/student relationship rather than peer/peer). I'd love to hear more thoughts!
