• Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of Google Workspace in fostering collaboration within academic settings, specifically at the University of Makati. The aim is to evaluate its role in enhancing blended learning practices and identify areas for improvement among faculty, staff, and students. A survey was conducted with 50 participants, including academic staff, faculty, and students at the University of Makati who regularly use Google Workspace for academic and collaborative activities. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure familiarity with the platform. The study employed a quantitative research design using structured surveys to assess user experiences with key features such as real-time document editing, communication tools, etc. The study found that Google Workspace and rated as "Very Effective" (mean score of 4.61) in promoting teamwork. Key advantages included improved collaboration, enhanced communication, and efficient management of group projects. However, several challenges were also noted, including low user adoption rates, limited Google Drive storage capacity, the need for better technical support, and limited offline functionality. Google Workspace significantly supports academic collaboration in the normal practices within the University of Makati, however, it faces challenges that impact its overall effectiveness. Addressing these issues could improve user experience and platform efficiency in educational contexts. It is recommended to enhance user adoption through targeted training and improve offline capabilities. Additionally, providing more advanced technical support could mitigate existing challenges.

  We investigate collaborative active learning, a paradigm in which multiple collaborators explore a new domain by leveraging their combined machine learning capabilities without disclosing their existing data and models. This collaboration offers several advantages: (a) it addresses privacy and security concerns by eliminating the need for direct model and data disclosure; (b) it enables the use of different data sources and insights without direct data exchange; and (c) it promotes cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency through shared labeling costs.

  During the COVID-19 crisis, educational institutions worldwide shifted from face-to-face instruction to emergency remote teaching (ERT) modalities. We analyzed data on 7,528 undergraduate students and found that cooperative and consensus dynamics among students in discussion forums positively affect their final GPA. Using natural language processing, we show that first-year students with low academic performance during high school are exposed to more content-intensive posts in discussion forums.
