    Haha I’m really glad I missed out on that sort of era tbh. Sounds like a bit of a nightmare.

    While I appreciate you providing alternatives, the fact of the matter is that most of your random classmates are unlikely to be interested in using or figuring out how to use some sort of obscure program/website.

      Don’t make it a group discussion. Just say “I’m gonna set up a collab doc later today” and send them the link. It will just be a workable document, nothing fancy and no weird UI you gotta get into.

        If it’s that simple for people to participate, that sounds good. I’m glad my era of group projects is over, at least! No more classroom work for me!

          It is that easy. NextCloud works with LibreOffice, and my first contact with Cryptpad was some vacation planning with online friends and someone set up the pad, sent the link and we were able to work with that stuff instantly.

          No more classroom work for me!

          I don’t know what your occupation is/will be, but office world is not a lot different from class rooms in many regards xD (I hope you got a more comfortable experience with your coworkers though).

            I don’t have an office job, so it’s all good haha. I work in the medical field and have not needed to touch anything like that in years lol.
