Example Review of Synchronous & Asynchronous Tools



An Example of a Collaborative Tool Review:

Let's look at Advantages & Disadvantages

Synchronous: Some of the great advantages of using Whatsapp are: You can easily send free messages to any part of the world without any charges. ... All tools provided by Whatsapp are very easy to use. It does not have any advertisements on display screen.

ADVANTAGES:

1.    Available in iPhone, and Smart Phone.
2.    send unlimited messages across the world using WhatsApp
3.    send contacts very easily and can be saved as well as with just two steps
4.    It provides Group chat
5.    It has an option for Email Conversation instead of private messaging
6.    It provides emoji’s to make the conversation fun and interesting (see above)
7.    Services are provided for free of cost

DISADVANTAGES:
1.    A Unknown/Known Message once sent cannot be deleted (No way to stop the message
2.    In a group only the Group-Admin can add the persons
3.    You may not have your phone charged up enough to use it (battery low)

Asynchronous:
Advantages. Emails are delivered extremely fast when you have a good online connection. Emails can be sent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Webmail means emails can be sent and received from any computer, anywhere in the world, that has an Internet connection (like googlemail or yahoomail or Hotmail).

Application of Review: 

"Our group used both synchronous and asynchronous digital tools to communicate with each other. It was very handy.
The email allowed us to set up the WhatsApp for our collaboration.  It was easy to use and easy to contact everyone at the same time."

"When working on a project, it would be very handy to work with more than one person and using a digital tool like WhatsApp would allow other people to participate in the project and give you instant feedback."

"Collaboration I sent my first presentation and waited for feedback from my group through whattsap and through e-mails,  I have also received my group presentation and given feedback through whattsap."
