Collaborative Technology

When arranging a meeting types of information may include the reason for the meeting, the time and length, the date and location, what resources are required and a list of required attendees and their contact details.

Meetings management involves a variety of different activities. Before a meeting has begun the office administrator should make sure that he/she has booked a room for the meeting and that it is in accessible location so that it allows access for anyone who is disabled and it complies with all current government legislation. The secretary should make sure that all the equipment is already set up in the room and check it is in good working order. For example: a computer and a projector if there are going to be presentations of any kind. There should also be sufficient refreshment available. An agenda which contain: Apologies, minutes of the previous meeting, matters arising, any other business and the date of the next meeting. This is sent to all attendees of the meetings in advance so they know what is being discussed.*

”For example in a campus environment, professors working on the same project can send broadcast messages to one another without the necessity of belonging to the same department. This can reduce traffic if the multicasting capability of IP was previously used”[2]. The concept of Virtual work groups seems to be a good one in theory but in practice this does not work properly.

Evaluate any feedback received. Discuss the findings with the Chair/people involved in organising the meeting. Agree whether changes are required/appropriate.

To be successful with the meeting, the supervisor should have an agenda which would include the following components:

A collaboration tool that I believe would fulfill our needs at The Broadway Café would be a Groupware System. Groupware is

Meetings can be used in different ways and can have different agenda’s to others. They can be used to inform, seek ideas, clarification, resolve problems, discuss proposals, settle disputes and take decisions.

1. The meeting needs to be held in a quiet and uninterrupted place and fixed times to ensure consistency.

Collaboration involves negotiation and consensus seeking (Blais & Hayes, 2016). As the assistant director of nursing, I am a member of the Quality Improvement committee. Our purpose is to meet on a monthly basis to review feedbacks from patients regarding their home health aides. We need to know if the patient needs are being met, if they are being treated with respect and what improvements can be made to keep quality aides in order to ensure quality care of patients. Providing good care for home health patients with chronic conditions needs to be organized and coordinated (Barr & Ross, 2007).

The findings in this research has opened my view on the proposed integration of psychology and primary care professional. The participants in the pilot study, although a small group, finds the integrating of psychology and primary care to be a beneficial to individuals with chronic diseases. It is evident no one profession in medicine should work alone. The collaboration/integration could have successful results. This collaboration could be deem a positive benefit to the world of science, assisting in the battling issues of physical and mental health issues. Therefore, it is of vital importance in my area of psychology to accept the integration process in working as a team, incorporating more inputs, validating theories, producing new

6) Assemble a rough draft of all documents required and upload the file to the team discussion forum for all group members to review and give comment.

These groups rely on technology to communicate with one another and to accomplish the tasks allocated by the organization. One benefit of a virtual team is that they use technology and this can help increase efficiency and productivity of the members. The virtual teams also assist in the development of intellectual capital. The composition of the virtual groups helps improve quality as well as the outcome. The other benefit is the efficiency of communication. Some of the challenges include the distance between the members. The significant distance may dilute leadership, weaken human relations as well as amplify dysfunction. Virtual teams are hard to manage especially when it comes to goal setting, task distribution, coordination and member motivation. Virtual organizations rely on trust that the other members will fulfill their roles since it is not possible to monitor them closely (Hoppe, 2011). The virtual teams may face some internet challenges such as slow internet or disconnection. This problem can be handled through the use of alternative methods of communication such as mobile phones. While making a virtual team, the team members should address all challenges which may hinder communication by coming up with all possible substitutes of means of communication. These organizations rely heavily on the internet for video conferencing and sending emails. However, when the internet fails, they

Our collaborative group project was frightening when I first realized this was part of the course. I had not completed a group academic project in years as I have been an online degree-seeking student. I wavered between being confident my fellow team members would be fantastic as we are all in the same degree program and worried we would have some conflict. Marks and O’Connor researched undergraduate business students regarding collaborative learning that states precisely the concerns rolling through my mind.

Manufacturing depends vigorously on spreadsheets and word preparing applications. Every staff station is to be furnished with a 27' iMac and enchantment pac, and every station will be configured together as a subnetwork for the department. These frameworks offer more than sufficient review on their substantial screen, so staff can keep different windows open at a solitary time. Profitability will be significantly expanded, as OS X and the track cushion will permit staff to swipe through different things, without the need to open and close separately. Organizing each of these frameworks together allows staff to in a flash get to a required archive from another Mac, without the need to get to Widget
