摘要：Problem statement: Students attending the University of Alcalá come from different locations throughout central Spain. This circumstance can have an impact on their collaboration on group projects. Purpose of study: This paper examines a group of students’ preferences for use of online collaboration programs when working on group translation assignments. It discusses our experience and the students’ reasons for selecting programs. Method As part of a team project, the students were asked to use a wiki on www.wikispaces.com in the first semester, but they were given the option to use an online collaboration program of their choice in the second semester. They completed a questionnaire about their preferences afterwards. Findings: The majority of the students opted to use www.docs.google.com as opposed to Wiki Spaces. Conclusion Students might benefit from more training in using wikis but instructors should consider some of the benefits of Google highlighted by the students.
