Asher's+Video+report

This assessment is about video creating and editing which needs all members work and do all task together. There is no doubt that group work has its advantages that people can share ideas and divide a tough work into small part for individual member. However, at the same time, members have to face the challenges and tribulations of group work. Firstly, the communication among members is a big problem for working together. As a group, every step of work and every idea should be discussed while it is not easy for members to tale or meet anytime. Individual has own timetable so use phone to talk is not good and costs money. For this challenger, we used the Wikispace to solve it. Every time any member get a idea or question, he or she can just write it on the Wikispace of our group and others will solve or change it in their own time. Second tribulation of team work is the divarication among different people. For example, when the design of video are discussed, the question about how many pictures would be used in video are talked about and members’ opinion is totally different. Thirdly, it is hard to make sure every member can finish own task at time with a high quality. Some of people do not activated for group work, and they are always late for their own task. Moreover, there is a difference on the level of study ability of different members and it would be lead to the quality of works are different. Some of individual work is real poor quality. For this problem, every time individual’s work is done, the work would be posted to the Wikispace and it would be checked and improved by others.
