LIBE 467 Group Project

Reflection: (taken from my assignment 3 part I)

For our collaborative assignment, my partners were: Connie and Carrie.  Our communication was done mostly through email correspondence, but Connie and I did discuss and brainstormed ideas through a telephone conversation.  (Connie and I live close to each other, but Carrie lives further away and calling us would incur long distance charges).  Through our emails we considered how to approach the assignment, examined assignment details, discussed personal and collaborative plans for the assignments and offered each other support and guidance.  We had some difficulties determining the collaborative and independent components of our group assignment, as well as, the assignment’s requirements and purpose.  Eventually, we decided to approach the assignment differently depending on our individual needs and assignment interpretations.  As a collaborative group, we chose to use World Book Online encyclopedia as our reference resource, with each person focussing on a different online version.  Carrie chose to use the World Book Kids version, for young students.  Connie chose to use World Book Student, for elementary and middle school students.  I chose to use World Book Advanced, for high school students, as my reference resource.
