These pages provide some basic information about tools that can be used to work remotely. A few can be used by people for their own individual work, but most are intend to allow groups of people to work together from different locations. Keep in mind that these do not replace existing collaborative tools (such as email or cloud file sharing).
Working Remotely
Before reviewing them the techical tools it is also a good idea to remember that remote work is not primarily a way of using technology. It is a way of working, and the tools you use should accommodate the way you choose to work or are expected to work by the people you work with and work for. The pages are not meant to dictate how you should work using these tools. They will only list capabilities, offer options, and provide instructions on how to perform certain tasks.
