Collaborative Writing
Collaborative writing, or collabwriting is a method of group work that takes place in the workplace and in the classroom. Researchers expand the idea of collaborative writing beyond groups working together to complete a writing task. Collaboration can be defined as individuals communicating, whether orally or in written form, to plan, draft, and revise a document.

At times, success in collaborative writing is hindered by a group's failure to adequately communicate their desired strategies. Definition Collaborative writing refers to a distributed process of labor involving writing, resulting in the co-authorship of a text by more than one writer.Sharples, M., Goodlet, J. S., Beck, E.

Registered Partnership
A civil union (also known as a civil partnership) is a legally recognized arrangement similar to marriage, created primarily as a means to provide recognition in law for same-sex couples. Civil unions grant some or all of the rights of marriage except child adoption and/or the title itself.

While civil unions are often established for both opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples, in a number of co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
