[Year 12 IPM] U3O2 Virtual Teams

[jtabone at aitkencollege.edu.au]

Dear All

I am reading with interest everyone's comments on U302 -
collaborative problem solving within virtual teams and am wondering
if I may be over-simplifying this outcome task 

Going by the detailed example in the study design p. 69-70 we are
given the scenario of university located on one
"large campus", whereby management has recently formed as one of
their key objectives to "strengthen current strategic collaborations
and forge new alliances that will create new knowledge ..."

The task is then: 

"design and create a prototype website for Sherwood University that
will enable various virtual teams ... to realise their goals and to
enhance decision making, knowledge sharing and collaborative problem
solving"

Couldn't simply having an email link solve this problem - yes you
would use wikis, blogs, forums, webcasts, and every other "sexy"
tool
- however I can communicate virtually via email to people with the
same interest (teams)

Really, isn't that what I am doing right now - sending an email to a
group of people with a common interest and goal and sharing
information and receiving information in a collaborative environment


Just my thoughts

Cheers
