True to the #lazyprof ethos, I'm going to try https://cocalc.com. It seems pretty reasonable to set up a plan that lets us try it out, and the collaborative latex editor seems OK. TBH I don't really understand "course plans" versus individual subscriptions, but I think it's kind of "pay what you can".

I do know that cocalc is definitely giving back to the free software tools it's based on.

I'm making my victims/students in a seminar course scribe in pairs. I'm not sure if I should prescribe a collaboration method, and if so what. Something web based I guess. Overleaf is fancy, but I think taking notes in \LaTeX is probably not ideal for \LaTeX beginners. Also, it's not free for actual collaboration. Some simple text pad?

PS. Too late to tell me this is a terrible idea, it's in the syllabus 😋
