Our group consisted of five people located in four different places; Helsinki, Vaasa, Kotka, and Italy. The challenge was how to prepare lectures, since we all live in different places. The idea of Skype came out for our discussions, but again the challenge was how to create the masterpieces of our presentation with equal input of all group members, then GOOGLE DOCS with Skype was the ideal and helped our online group working. We agreed to collect materials and share on each other through emails, and after reading we discuss on Skype, select the important parts from all of the groups’ materials and finally decide the design of our presentation.
What I liked and need to appreciate our group was common understanding, while all of us came from different culture backgrounds. No one was convincing to take his/her material to others for the presentation. The all group members collect huge information with different angels and tools, which could never happen while working alone.
Sometimes, in a group work you think that some ideas cannot work at the beginning, but may be at the end it will work perfectly, so always accept difference, creativity and be patient.
