The first presentation presented by the other group doing the Gothic architecture project provided clear definitions of communication and the various aspects of it. These aspects include describing the forms of communication, such as synchronous (verbal) and asynchronous (non verbal). They also identified different target groups of communication. The overall presentation of their topic was very on topic, well structured and informative. The primary problem of the presentation is that their slides were too text based, less visuals and mainly reading off the slides. Also there are minor details of it not having references where it should be. They talked about what forms of communication they are and will be using throughout their project. This included communication within programs (e.g. SketchUp, unity), with the client, and through social media such as Facebook. For my group and its project, I noticed that we mainly communicate to each other verbally (synchronous) rather than non verbally (asynchronous). This was because we held many group meetings to do our work and found that face to face interaction is the quickest way in developing our project rather wait replies through emailing or social media networks. We mainly used these social media networks, such as Facebook as a storage location where we constantly update and share our work among our group.
Group 2 - the Last Suprematist
The second presentation of communication who is working on the suprematist project, mainly talked about how they communicated with each other due to the small number of only having 2 people in their group. With this, they discussed how they would coordinate their work accordingly, to avoid confusion in the future and clearly defining their roles and responsibilities. I think how they clearly outline what each of them has to do, helps with a better communication among the two, thus never having one person do most of the work. They also talked about their main line of communication is through the internet and they worked along the idea of a navigator-driver style of working. This style of work, particular aimed up pair group work, allows them to help each other when in need of help and puts one person doing work ahead of time, with the other following up from previous work. This style to me, helps them strengthen their communication with one another and works great with their project. For my group's project though, it wouldn't work that well as it's a team of six and its not easy to help each other as the line of work differs (coding, interface, shaders, etc.).
Group 3 - the Bus Stop of the Future
The last group for communication, doing the bus stop project, presented their information through a work cloud, outlining areas they use to communicate. They talked about in their presentation of what communication areas they used, which included emailing and listening. Listening as in talking with the person in front, and listening back to their response. This communication area may be obvious and simple, but is still one of the biggest factors to communication is what I think. This is because the person you want to talk to, is right there, meaning you can ask any question you have or answer any questions. This would also be done without the hassle of waiting for a response from the person (e.g. emailing, waiting for a response you don't know when you'll receive). They talked about the 10 levels of intimacy of communication, mainly based around emailing and Facebook messaging. Overall, their presentation was very informative towards their topic, and I found the listening tool of communication a great addition to their presentation.
