Doing Group Projects Online with SharePoint
SharePoint is an online collaboration tool that can be used as an intranet site (or a central online location) for student groups or teams to work on a group project. Having a place to share work online reduces face-to-face meetings, the multitude of emails that comes with collaborating, and eliminates the bottleneck of having a single person upload items to the site because everyone can participate. Consider a SharePoint Workspace as having an asynchronous meeting where users can do work and collaborate during a time when it is most convenient to the individual.

SharePoint
SharePoint Online (or Sites which is part of the University's Office 365 application suite) provides collaborative websites for groups such as research teams, committees, and course-related activities. While DoIT encourages students, faculty, and staff to first investigate Google Drive or Google Sites to handle collaborative projects among teams, SharePoint is certainly a viable alternative. SharePoint is HIPAA and export compliant.
