All team members are required to participate in discussions by posting daily messages related to each assignment. As a team we agree it is important to discuss each individual role and responsibility in order to enforce accountability. Our communication within the team must be respectful and professional. Team members must complete their portion of each assignment within the time set at the beginning of the week so that as a team we can complete all assignments on time. If a Team member falls behind, is having difficulty with an assignment, or is unable to complete their work on time, it is their responsibility to let the rest of the team know so we can help. Expectations for Time Management and Involvement (Participation, communication with the team, accessibility, etc.) Our team will contact each other using the learning team forum. Our backup will be our university email accounts. Emergency contact can be done by telephone. It is the individual team member’s responsibility to maintain contact with the rest of the team. All coordination about assignments will be done in the team forum so that all members will have all assignment information available to them. Message pasted to the team forum that require immediate action will be marked “URGENT” Ensuring Fair and Even Contribution and Collaboration What strategy will you use to ensure that all team members are contributing and collaborating appropriately' Describe the communication strategy you will use if a team member is not contributing and collaborating effectively. How will the team manage conflicts between team members' All team member will equally decide the division of work assignment. Team members that do not participate fully in all assignments will be notified of the lack of participation by the other team members this notification will be done respectfully and in open team forum. Continued lack of participation or failure to respond to request for participation within 24 hours. The Faculty will be notified upon complete team agreement to do so. If a conflict arises it should be discussed respectfully and rationally in the team forum. Derogatory personal attacks will not be tolerated in any form. Special Considerations What do you, as a team, agree will make this team experience different from past team experiences' We believe the biggest advantage we had was our time zone differences! A lot of teams would usually look at time zone differences as a negative thing, but for our team it really worked for us. When one member would post at night, another would be posting the following morning. Rarely was there a time someone had to wait for another response more than a night worth of sleep. It’s almost like there was always at least one member of our team logged on at a time. Our team really used the time differences to our advantage. Another skill our team used effectively was communication. We each come from different backgrounds, but we had no disagreements or arguments what so ever. We all had the same goal in mind; to see our team succeed.
