Google Docs is one of the most interactive technologies, which can be used for collaborative learning. Learners can view and edit documents together to complete a project over a web. It offers free access and online storage. Resources can be shared with anyone. Google Docs is important for open education because most of the time, the use of technology in open education lacks interactivity beyond the technology itself. In order to ensure human interaction and collaboration, Google Docs is effective technology to create networks between learners and practitioners.
Google Drive is very important technology for open education provider. They can use it to store course materials (audio, video, pdfs) free of cost. They can also use it to develop a collaborative project with others. Since Open Education requires a platform to save resources, Google Drive can reduce the financial burden.

I agree with this Munir. I use Google Drive on a daily basis for my freelance writing and it is very useful as it covers many mediums, i.e. audio, visual, document format etc.
