I have definitely been in your shoes. When I was in undergrad, group projects were the bane of my existence--with half of the kids doing nothing but signing their name on paper at the end.

I'm currently in grad school now, and when I first started, every single teacher assigned a group project (gag). However, this time around, I had someone in my group who suggested using this online tool to keep track of all of our stuff. The website was www.grouptable.com and it absolutely saved me and my sanity in grad school. We were able to upload all of our documents, revise them, meet virtually on live chat, and assign tasks to a calendar. We even had the option to make the professor a restricted member, so they could view the work done by each member and accurately determine a participation grade for each of us. It was amazing.

If you find yourself in another group project anytime soon, the only advice I can give, is use a tool like Group Table that holds everyone accountable for their own stuff!
