Many people simply despise group projects. One of the main reasons behind this is communication. It is followed by not having complete data of what everyone is working on. This then creates confusion. The best fight against this is face to face meeting, calling or emailing. But how does it feel to constantly do this kind of task? Such communication method only turns out to be frustrating and overwhelming at one point. Also a few talks here and there can still create disconnection among group members. Is it possible to avoid it? Of course yes.
The easiest way to do group project is to track everyone’s work. It cannot be supported by emailing and calling. Instead, one complete location is needed where all members can remain transparent about everything happening in the group.Thanks to Internet, we have an online site which makes this job easier. It is called Wiggio.com. If teachers and professors wish they can urge students to open their group on this site. How does Wiggio support group projects? The site is similar to a university blackboard. Here students can have one specific page where they can freely share with one another every portion of the group works they are doing. It is just that the site allows:
- Messaging right on the page that remains visible to the members. Texting can also be done.
- Adding contact information for all group members.
- Uploading of files and links through file uploader and link sharing button. This seems to be unlimited.
- Editing documents.
- Setting up events for face to face meetings or conference calling.
- Creating polls and much more.
