Research projects - Group and individual - The process
I have to say that the blog has been useful as I am completing my individual research project. It has kept me on a definitive path as well as allowing others to comment and make suggestions that I can always go back and read over. It has allowed me to stay focused and yet think beyond.
The group projects have been interesting for me. There were times when frustration set in because there seemed to be little time to get together. However, in the past week the group has pulled together and we are working very well. The most difficult obstacle was not so much having to meet but just having a set organization and everyone having the same organization in mind. We also found it to this point to be very difficult to meet using CMC. We will have to see what the next research project brings...

It seems to me that one issue we could look at in this course is how to create environments that make collaboration (good collaboration) possible and easy. By this I refer not only to the technology environment (Groove, Vista, WebWhiz, etc.) but also to social environments and other elements. It's clear that most of the time we think that collaboration is best f2f, so we meet to get things started, make decisions, etc. Then the online environments are compared to that.
What is it about f2f collaboration that makes it good? What features should we try to reproduce online? What can online environments do that f2f ones can't?
