Virtual Group Paper

Paper 4 Virtual group project I am taking this class enhance to my small group communication, and in order to finish my academic requirement. In whole semester, we made two differences of groups. First of all, we were made face-to-face group. Secondly, we were made the virtual group project. Last week, we started the virtual group project. The biggest challenge is our team would consist of members that we have not yet worked with this semester and the propose of the virtual group project - to simulate globally “far-flung” teams who work together from remote locations and rarely. Our group were overcome the biggest challenge. In the beginning, our team was meet face-to-face the first time we get together. Then, our team were primarily employ principles of effective virtual-team cooperation and accomplish the project’s goal virtually. We were used several types of non-face-to-face communication, such as set up group chat, e-mail and instant messaging. In this project, we should to design a communication plan for the lobby of a building of our choosing on the ASU campus. When we got the goal for this project, we set up group chat on 18 Nov. And we texted group about ideas

In the face-to-face group, we can see each person and have more free talk than the virtual group. Face-to-face group will be more easily to talk ideas, but it will occupy more time on meeting. Virtual group will be more efficient. For instance, in the virtual group, we can talk clearly that someone to finish which part and write own parts on the google doc, and if someone want to add somethings, they can easily use the google doc. If in the face-to-face group, we should have meeting and discuss the opinion and then to finish the project. And always someone was not coordinate and just did her own and never discuss with group members before. It will waste more time to contact with
