Group Report on Experiential Learning Technology Project

In this report you will evaluate your group performance. This group report should be the product of all group members.  Turn this in to me in person, not on the Web.

The issues we want you to address in your report are:

  • Describe your project.  What did your group do?  Be as specific as possible about the parameters of the project. 
  • For what client? 
  • Give an overview of the kind and amount of work that your group did.
  • How many total hours did the group spend on this project?
  • Brainstorm together and then organize your ideas to write an informal reflective essay on the experience and think about what you learned from doing this project. Be specific. Provide examples. Edit and proofread before you turn this in. Address such issues that are relevant to your project:
     
    - interviewing
    - dealing with different people in positions of authority
    - dealing with clients
    - using communication, writing and presentation skills
    - meeting deadlines
    - using critical thinking skills
    - using technology skills
    - contributing to meetings
    - planning
    -  editing
    - writing
    - publishing
    - travelling to activity (if appropriate)

    Feel free to also reflect on other aspects you want to share.

    Questions to help stimulate your thinking:

    • What do you think was the most sucessful aspect of this experience for your group and why?
    • What do you think was the most sucessful thing your group was able to do for your client/clients and why?
    • Sometimes we learn more from our mistakes.  If you were doing this over again, what are some things your group could do to make the group work more efficiently and/or make the experience more successful?
    • What technology skills did your group have that significantly contributed to the project?
    • What technology skills did your group learn or build on from doing this project?
