Collaborative Communication & Security

This unit develops practical skills for collaborating, communicating, and securing work in G Suite. Students will manage shared files and group interactions, create and format core documents, and configure account and message settings to support productive, secure teamwork—building on foundational concepts and preparing for advanced workflow and administration topics in later units.

Learning Objectives

• Apply sharing and collaboration features (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Groups, and Chat) to create, share, and manage access for shared files and group resources
• Demonstrate effective communication and scheduling practices by composing and managing email, responding to invitations, showing availability, and starting/joining video meetings
• Create and format documents, spreadsheets, and presentations using styles, page setup, ranges-as-databases, and basic collaboration tools to produce polished, collaborative work products
• Evaluate and configure account security and privacy settings—including strong passwords, app permissions, and 2-Step Verification—to protect accounts and control information flow
