#distributed-teams

My new team has a completely flexible work-location approach. There is an office, and we can come in if we want to. But there's no requirement or badge-swiping. Those of us who are local also collaborate daily with colleagues in drastically different time zones-Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC). So our overall team is distributed enough that in-person work can't be our organizing religion.

The reality for many, however, is often far more chaotic. Teams are often spread across cities, time zones, and even continents. Version control becomes nightmarish, and valuable feedback can easily get lost in endless email chains. In such a distributed environment, working on a complex project like an eLearning course requires a centralized, collaborative hub. That's where collaboration tools for online learning come in.
