Abstract. As engineering, science, and industry in general become increasingly global, online collaboration has become a normal part of the professional’s workday. It has, however, not been integrated into the US educational system. In this paper we show how Google Sheets, a part of Google Drive can be used to familiarize students in beginning courses with the practice of online collaboration and enhance their computational spreadsheet skills.
