Document collaboration system. Any system that allows for editing in which many contributors may work on the same document. In other words, the Systems are generally designed to help multiple people work together on single documents to achieve their distinguished latest versions. Two main types of the Editors are collaborative realtime editors and, if the documents are textual or use textual markups, wiki engines.

The editors tend to be web-based. To enter their edits, the end-users utilize their computers or mobile devices.
• Wiki engine.

Script

There are two types of document collaboration systems. Collaborative realtime editors such as Google Docs and other web-based office suites belong to one type.

CNM Cyber's document collaboration system utilizes another type, wiki engine, because of two reasons. First of all, wiki is more widespread in the information technology industry. Second, wiki engines are robust when it comes to tracking, which is vital in the learning process.

Functions of Wiki is the successor lectio.
