UMVibe Allows for Distance Collaboration

Group writing assignments, such as multi-author book-writing projects, have traditionally been confined to manually reviewing and emailing documents through a word processing program.  But now with UMVibe, UMB faculty and staff can share, comment, review and edit documents regardless of their geographic location. In addition to collaborative document management, UMVibe also allows faculty to create and access a shared project calendar and conduct private online discussions, either in real time or asynchronously.  Task management (personal and team), survey creation, workflow building, blogs, wikis, and threaded discussions are also included.  All interactions take place in a secure environment where data is tracked and protected.  Faculty members can invite students, as well as colleagues from other institutions to participate on their team. 

UM faculty and staff members automatically have accounts on UMVibe through their UMID and password, you may login here.  The University maintains a support and training website to assist you in creating your own workspace.
