I’ve taken an online class before and was already somewhat familiar with the workings of such classes. Adjusting to online classroom environments is difficult at first but as the semester has progressed I’ve learned to better understand how things work. However, I’ve never had to work on any type of group projects online previously so it was something new to me.
After initially getting in contact with my other group member it wasn’t too difficult to communicate and coordinate working together. The great advance that technology has made, even small changes over the past four years as a college student, makes for a more feasible group work schedule. It’s sometimes difficult to balance your own life, let alone manage time to work on a project as a team with the busy lives of others.
The use of the Internet allows group members to contact one another at any point during the day. Communicating via the Internet or cell phones makes it easy to set deadlines and discuss what sections of a project each member is to cover. Also, not having to always meet face-to-face takes a little less pressure off each member giving them the leisure to work on their part wherever they feel most comfortable.
