Collaborative Productivity and Security

This unit teaches students how to communicate and collaborate effectively using cloud-based email, calendar, meetings, chat, groups, and shared files while creating and formatting basic documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It also emphasizes account and information security settings (passwords, 2-step verification, inbox/read settings) and role/permission management to maintain privacy and productive workflows.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze shared file, group, and role settings to determine appropriate permissions and manage access for secure team collaboration
• Apply communication workflows by scheduling and responding to meeting invitations, starting or joining video meetings, and using chat and groups to coordinate tasks
• Demonstrate creation and collaborative editing of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, including use of styles, page setup, ranges-as-database techniques, and real-time sharing
• Evaluate and implement account security and productivity settings by creating strong passwords, enabling 2-step verification, adjusting inbox/read/notification preferences, and managing contacts and shared calendars
