Group presentation2: Communication (Group Name: Shades of dark)

 

In today’s presentation, the group showed us information about communication in group work.  This presentation helped me to understand how the communication will affect the result of a project, with different communication methods; every group will have a different outcome.

First, the group have emphasis the oral presentation very clear and concise. At the beginning of the presentation, the group had showed us the information about responsibilities in the group, so leadership is the most important issue. One of the communication method is introduced, like a hirerachy management method, there will be a leader and others will be the team members. Each of the team members will allocate some work to do and when they finish it, they can communicate with the leader and see if the work is been correctly done.

 

Also, the group also showed us the communication method not only face to face to have a group meeting with the members but also share their work through the internet access. There are different types of internet access they use to work, such as facebook, dropbox and wiki for the internal communication. This make sure each of the team members know the progress of each person and they can edit the work immediately. For the external communication, they introduced to use a existing forum to communicate, such as youtube. The group post some video of their progression and allow their audience to know more about it from a visual effect rather than know it by reading the words on the paper.

 

After this, they also mention the longevity of this project. One of their point catches my attention, they said one of the risk of the project is something like copyright, since it is open access to everyone, it means there will be a chance that someone steal their work and use it. It also reminds me that it is important to protect our work when we are sharing the information to a public.  We need to secure our mental fruit as our priority.

 

Other comments:

There is couple of example shown during the presentation which deepen my understanding in communication both internally and externally. Each of the images is referenced.
