How are you using the collaborations tool in Canvas?

[jwalford]

I think collaborations and Google Drive will work great for my professional learning communities and Continuous School improvement groups. Are there other tools that work well for "Professional Groups?"  Would I just build a group in Canvas and use that group to collaborate?  Any advice would be welcome.

jwalford, I don't have an immediate answer for you. However, since your question prompt invites an open-ended discussion rather than eliciting a single answer that can be marked "correct," I'll change this to a discussion. I'll also share this with the Higher Education​ group and Canvas for Professional Development space where the discussion will garner additional views from people with experience using Collaborations for your stated purpose. If you're not already a member of those groups, joining is just a few clicks away.
