Workplace communication, knowledge transfer and learning methods constitute the basics of informal, on-the-job training (Vuchkovski, 2023), and the bulk of informal training -- learning by doing and mentoring-- occurs during everyday work activities (Korpi & Tahlin, 2021). Part of the learning process for work teams in a hybrid or online work environment is discovering which tools will enable team members to accomplish their project goals while being inclusive and aware of diversity in education, experience and expertise. At the Florida State University College of Medicine, the library’s web team has been learning to work together on projects by using emails, chats, posts, shared files and notes, and video conferencing. Leveraging these online tools available in many work environments, the web team has promoted transparency and inclusivity in setting priorities, explaining options, gathering feedback, and making decisions. Operational since January 2024, the team finished our first major project in May 2024, and will continue to learn on the job while refining our workflow processes and using a variety of online tools to accomplish our goals.
