OneDrive Files • These are Microsoft files located in the cloud • Go to onedrive.queens.edu • Others’ access to view and edit files is controlled through sharing links • Great for individual work • Journals – 1 file with a stable URL can contain a student’s ongoing entries throughout the semester • Great for collaborative work • Glossary created by groups of students or entire class • Other collaboratively resourced content. For example, go to the journal file and add an idea for an additional question under Week 2 – feel free to include your name
