An excellent resource to share with faculty. This presentation provides examples of scenarios in regards to working with multiple documents and used suitable visual representations to describe how multiple versions of the same document can lead to confusion and frustration. Very little time was spent showing how to use Google Docs, which I think is fine considering how easy it is to use and the availability of tutorials provided by Google at http://documents.google.com/support/.
