本文介绍了使用免费访问的开源平台的基础上，谷歌应用程序的教育相结合的谷歌网站，谷歌浏览器，谷歌驱动器，谷歌环聊和脚本语言在一个基于自定义的界面，支持工程和教育学生团队的实验性服务学习项目。本文讨论的方法是成功的，促进来自两个不同学科的远程工作的学生之间的合作。分析表明，团队中的平衡参与，共同目标的存在和强调个人和集体责任的明确角色是成功的跨学科项目经验的关键。虽然许多学生仍然报告说，他们在正常的团队合作挑战中遇到了困难，比如找到共同的会议时间，但其他人对团队的活力和相互学习的机会感到满意。虽然开源协作工具SCOL并不能显著预测团队满意度，但教师们发现它对于构建项目任务、监控学生进度和提供及时反馈非常有价值。该工具被视为支持跨学科课程合作的关键，因为学生只有有限的机会进行面对面的互动。教师强调了培训学生使用异步通信和协作工具的重要性（例如，Google Docs和Google Hangouts），以最大限度地为学生带来好处。培训将包括在未来实施的SCOL，以确保更有效地使用该平台。
This paper describes the use of a freely-accessible open-source platform based on Google Apps for Education that combinesGoogle Sites, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Hangouts and script language in a custom-based interface that supportscollaborative service-learning projects for teams of Engineering and Education students. The approach discussed in this paper wassuccessful in promoting collaboration among students from two different disciplines working remotely. The analysis suggests thatbalanced participation in the team, presence of shared goals and clear roles that emphasized individual and collectiveresponsibilities were key to a successful interdisciplinary project experience. While many students still reported struggling withnormal teamwork challenges, like finding common meeting times, others were pleased with the dynamics of their team and theopportunity to learn from one another. While SCOL, the open-source collaboration tool, did not significantly predict teamsatisfaction, the instructors found it very valuable for structuring project tasks, monitoring student progress, and providing timelyfeedback. The tool was seen as critical in supporting cross-disciplinary course collaboration for which students had limited accessto face-to-face interaction. Faculty emphasized the importance of training students to use the asynchronous communication andcollaboration tools (e.g., Google Docs and Google Hangouts) to maximize the benefits for students. Training will be included infuture implementations of SCOL to ensure a more effective use of the platform.
