Background of the Study
In recent years, the integration of cloud computing into education has revolutionized how students collaborate on group assignments. Cloud-based collaboration tools, such as Google Docs, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox, allow students to work together in real-time, regardless of their physical location. These tools provide an accessible and efficient platform for students to share ideas, documents, and feedback, fostering teamwork and improving learning outcomes. In secondary schools, group assignments are a common approach to enhance students' collaborative skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
In Bida Local Government Area, Niger State, while there is an increasing awareness of the benefits of technology in education, the use of cloud-based collaboration tools remains limited. Students and teachers in the area often rely on traditional methods such as paper-based assignments and face-to-face meetings for group work. This study aims to explore the potential of cloud-based collaboration tools to enhance group assignments in secondary schools, providing students with an opportunity to develop digital literacy skills and improve collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of cloud-based collaboration tools, many secondary schools in Bida Local Government Area face challenges in adopting and utilizing these technologies for group assignments. Traditional group work methods may not always foster effective collaboration, and students may struggle to engage with group members outside of school hours. By exploring the use of cloud-based tools, this study aims to identify how these platforms can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of group assignments in secondary schools, enhancing students' overall learning experience.
