This session illustrates how to do research collaboratively in real time using off-the-shelf products and services to accomplish more in less time and (we think) better results. FamilySearch has produced a video adaptation of this session. In the Learning Center, see "{{LearningCenter2|328|Doing Research in Real Time: A Collaborative Approach}}."<br>

We've divided real-time collaboration tools into three types: communication, artifact storage, and aggregation.

To aggregate the information streaming in from the various sources, an aggregation tool is necessary. This allows everyone to see the results of the research and to monitor progress. It also provides a critical analysis function by allowing visibility into the whole of the genealogical problem as it develops.

Additions and corrections to these tables are encouraged. To qualify for inclusion, a tool must either be free or [[FamilySearch Certified|FamilySearch Certified]]. Since the printing of the syllabus, MyFamily.com eliminated a free offering, so it has been removed from the table.<br>


The desired outcome for this presentation is that you will take away the knowledge that research can be conducted in dramatically different ways than you may be used to doing. More people can participate, producing more artifacts and results in less time, making your valuable research time more productive.  
The tables in the conference syllabus use the term ''Tree Results'' instead of ''Aggregator''. The tables here have been corrected. The conference syllabus only includes aggregators that provided their own collaborative tree. However, products certified to update the new FamilySearch Tree may be added to the tables below.

= Post Project Followup  =
 
Following a research project, participants will want to go back through the results of the project, proof reading information, checking conclusions, and offering further research suggestions to the primary participant.
 
== Examples From Our Session  ==
 
*[http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AqSYSoDZfwK4dEdmekFkWFNVeThMZ3E1MDNQd1FzWGc&hl=en&single=true&gid=0&output=html Our research log]. This is the log of what we had scripted to do, not what you saw happen.
*[http://www.footnote.com/page/111153343_peyton_c_clements/ Results of our research using Footnote person pages]. Any registered user can make changes to these pages. We invite you to extend our results.
*[http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/17387474/person/503841443 Results of our research in an Ancestry.com member tree]. To see the results, you must have a subscription or you must be [http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/17387474/person/503841443 in the FamilySearch Library] or [http://trees.ancestrylibrary.com/tree/17387474/person/503841443 in a public library]. Only members of our research project team can make changes to these pages.
 
= Summary  =
 
The desired outcome for this presentation is that you will take away the knowledge that research can be conducted in dramatically different ways than you may be used to doing. More people can participate, producing more artifacts and results in less time, making your valuable research time more productive.
