An Online Collaboration Process Design for the Student Organization

The student organization plays an important role in the university. With the increasing competitions among students organizations, the organizers in the associations have to devote significant amounts of time to the meetings, which is often inefficient and hurting the working passion. In this study, we have applied facilitated collaboration theories and methods for student organizations to solve problems occurring in the online teamwork of university students’ organizations. Our aim is to provide a more efficient process of collaboration which helps cutting down the time used for the meeting, as well as improving the quality of the teamwork. First, we have designed an online collaboration process for students’ organizations for their collaborative work. Then, a pilot testing has been conducted successfully in a China university with the application of our designed process. The results show that it is useful for time decreasing, quality improving, effectiveness increasing and ideas generating.
