Welcome to Module 1: Introduction to Google Chat This course familiarizes you with how Google Chat can support your organization’s ability to communicate using instant messaging. As we move through the material, you acquire the skills you need to help On the Rise solve their organizational problems. By assisting them, you learn how to apply these skills at your own organization. So what are these tools, and how can they enhance collaboration and workflow efficiency at your organization? From direct messages to group conversations, Google Chat helps teams communicate and collaborate efficiently. With dedicated, virtual chat rooms called spaces, and threaded conversations, Google Chat lets users track the status of their projects and follow up on tasks. Google Chat also makes it easy for teams to get their work done by using a single platform to share and collaborate on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files.
