mod/collabora/mod
A teacher can add a Collabora activity in a course when editing is turned on by clicking an 'Add an activity or resource' link (or, if not present, the "Add an activity" drop down menu) and selecting Collabora.
This activity creates an office document (text, spreadsheet or presentation) that can be edited by more then one student simultaneously. Your system administrator should have hooked up a Collabora server to your Moodle installation for this to work. A collabora server is a server that generates the possibility to cooperate on office documents using a web based version of LibreOffice.
