The GCcollab group provided an opportunity for students with different skill sets to virtually connect and form teams.  || Example || Example

* I choose GCcollab to host my learning group, as it offers the ability to communicate broadly across the Federal Public Service as well as provincial and municipal public services and academia. This was particularly important to me, as some of my participants are for example from the City of Ottawa, and I might resort to help from one of Canada’s academic institutions to help educate public servants in the future. Being able to invite individual participants that do not work for a public service or academia is also an important feature, as I might ask external data tool specialists to assist in some of my learning events in the future.
* GCcollab offered me just the right amount of exposure, not fully public, but allows me to help improve data literacy across Canada’s wider Public Service. Another useful feature is that I can access GCcollab from home, and outside of business hours, as this work does not really form part of my day job, but is a personal side-project.

* My goal is to improve data tool and analytics literacy among public servants, and GCcollab offered just the right audience and tools (in combination with Webex) for this goal. 

* I used both, GCcollab and GCconnex to advertise on various data related groups for my learning series. I am also pointing participants to data related groups on GCcollab and GCconnex, as well as related pages on GCpedia.

| Joy Moskovic|| [mailto:joy.moskovic@tbs-sct.gc.ca joy.moskovic@tbs-sct.gc.ca]|| I needed to be able to communicate information specific to Crown Corporations, most of whom do not have access to GCpedia.

|Colleen Tiernan || [mailto:colleen.tiernan@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca colleen.tiernan@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca]|| We chose the GCwiki as it was accessible to those external to the GC firewall and we had more than 90 volunteers from all over the region and beyond that needed to access the material. <br>
We were able to incorporate the guide, as well as how to join a volunteer briefing session all in one, easy for us and the participants, a one-stop shop. 
* Also we could use the built in editor, made it easy, you didn’t need to know coding per se but helpful<br>

* We could add French parallel site<br>

* Could add pictures and layout design, similar to medium per se<br>
 
* Information would open and accessible for others that wish to model the guide for their own conference, event, etc.

|justin.patrick@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca|| I wanted to find a way to integrate my passion for creative writing into government innovation, so I created a GCconnex group called GOC Innovation through Creative Writing," where public servants can communicate innovative ideas through short stories and poetry. The group has been going for a few years now and has expanded onto GCcollab through the group, "Creative Writers." Over 50 pieces of creative writing have been shared in the group. When I left the government to do my master's I handed it off to Scott Stewart in 2018. On a casual contract at ESDC in 2020, I was pleased to find that the group is still active.

| Brandon Tong|| Example || The Knowledge Vine engages a broad audience (576 members) on current and emerging tax issues by using infographics to simplify complex topics. Members are exposed to a diverse array of tax related issues to stimulate thought and discussion within the group. This grass-roots initiative is supported by our partner, the Canada Revenue Agency Young Professionals Network (CRA YPN).

| Anoshia Qadri || {{em|anoshia.qadri@tbs-sct.gc.ca}} || GCconnex seemed like the tool we needed to find a quick and easy place to notify users  for any new updates, policy changes and showcase what HR Council is up to. GCconnex allows us to share information and notify all users of any new material/information in a timely manner, and w we can reach a larger audience with ease. We also use GCconnex to do promotion for HR Council and our events such as smart shops and our annual Michelle. C.Comeau Award. GCconnex is mostly used as our one stop-shop for sharing information. <br>
Since we serve various functional communities, it allows us to share documents and interact with various HR professionals from across the Public Service. We can directly engage with our audience. <br>
We can also re-direct our members to other various interdepartmental GCconnex pages if they need to find and learn about a specific community of practice, so it definitely saves time on that front.
