Abstract: ZOHO docs is a web based office suite. While ZOHO has the usual spreadsheet, word processor, and powerpoint presentation tool, what makes ZOHO docs stand out is that it is completely hosted online. Furthermore, ZOHO docs is designed with collaboration in mind. Students can work on a project from home (or anywhere for that matter) and still collaborate live with their classmates. ZOHO docs incorporates a number of tools such as live chat, comments, and sharing that make collaboration easy. While ZOHO offers a range of other cloud based tools as well, most of this tools appeal to the professional user, however, students may also benefit from other ZOHO products.

Personal Experience: I used this tool for a project when I was working on my undergraduate degree. Four other classmates and I worked together on our final project for a period of about eight weeks using ZOHO docs. During those eight weeks some of us had to miss class, got sick, and event went on vacation ( I went to Panama city Panama for a week) and still were able to keep up with the project. We worked together seamlessly despite the distance and delivered the project on time.
