Etherpad: contraption for our multimedia final exams

Getting into the groove for the mms 102 finals transformed us into skilled acrobats overnight, walking back and forth on high wires between skyscrapers mms102 and other pressing commitments-both tasks taxing and vying for balance on real time.

The balancing tool however, thanks to Sir Bingo’s specified virtual contraption – was the EtherPad. Since this was an online collaborative notepad that allows simultaneous editing and tracks changes, text editing and updating were insanely manageable. In earlier days though, we unknowingly played hide-and-seek with each other.

With EtherPad, we can type, copy and paste without interfering on each other’s simultaneous edits to the document. Collaborative editing or file sharing was done with ease cutting down on time with added convenience.
