CMIS 342 - Collaboration Technologies

Skype

Project Focus:

Determine a suitable collaboration technology for use in business and give a presentation featuring an example of the chosen technology.

Contribution/Role:

Researcher/Presenter

Technology/Skills:

Powerpoint, Collaboration Technology (Skype)

Description:

The presentation was meant to show a collaboration technology that would be suitable for use in the business world. In addition to giving information about the technology, the group was also expected to either show a video of the technology in use or actually demonstrate the technology in front of the class.

Challenges:

Determining how best to use the technology in the presentation took some trial and error. Dead zones within the building prohibited the group from transmitting from certain areas.

Reflections:

The presentation went very well, and the demonstration of Skype worked flawlessly. One student actually gave his part of the presentation over Skype before returning to the classroom.
