At the beginning of this month our group started out collaborating on our ‘Unique Adult Education Programs”. Instead of writing about only two specific programs each member of our group decided to write about their own personal experiences or programs of interest. Dan’s experience was with the Peat Marwick Facilitation Training and the purpose was to prepare and equip leaders to facilitate workgroups as a part of a total quality environment initiative and it helped individuals to become group facilitators. Lyndsey discussed a program that she is holding at the church she attends. The purpose was to instruct about the difficulties faced with hearing loss and ways to learn better communication strategies. The main implication of the class is to empower individuals with hearing loss, so they can crate better communication environments. Amanda discussed ISHA and the purpose of ISHA is to promote best practices in the fields of audiology and speech pathology and to provide the most up to date information for professionals.
The assignment for this week is to write about at least two
adult education organizations. Our group has been discussing the various roles
that each group member will be taking during this project. Instead of each of
us individually writing about our own group or personal experience (like the
previous assignment), we decided to designate two group members to write about
adult education organizations and the third member to compile the paper.
Lyndsey and Dan are going to write about the two organizations. Dan is going to
write about the highlander movement while Lyndsey is going to write about
UNESCO. Amanda is going to compile the overall paper. As a whole our group was
interested in discussing organizations that serve others, and more specifically
the underserved. We look forward to reading all of the other groups plans for
this month.
I like how you have organized the work. I think it gets crazy with more than one person researching one organization. I think it's brilliant to divide the work and have someone compile the paper.
ReplyDeleteNice job this month!

Nice job splitting up the work. Our group also split the work differently this month but each wrote about and organization. I like the idea of one person compiling the paper, I'm sure that saves everyone some time. Looking forward to reading your paper!

It appears your group has also found writing these types of papers in a group setting to be challenging, but I like how you are experimenting and trying different approaches. We have approached our work similarly.
ReplyDeleteI find it very complicated to write papers like this in a group where it's difficult to meet with/communicate with people on a regular basis. It sounds like you all did a great job of figuring out what works best for you!
ReplyDeleteI think that even though there were challenges, your group was able to pull it together based upon your approach to the task at hand. The result was exceptional work.

It is nice that you guys have a variety of personal experiences to draw from. In our group, there is really only one individual with significant adult education experience (note: I am not that individual). I would imagine that our course content feels much more relevant to you than it does to me. I find myself trying to apply this learning to a secondary environment, rather than looking for ways to improve adult education. In any case, I wish you all the best of luck on your final projects.

You all are cranking out the assignments and doing great. It is a challenge to work on each assignment as a group and benefit the most you can in your area of interest. I think it is good to be able to make your research have impact and glad you were able to allow each other the opportunity to do just that. Your work as a group is professional and well done. You are getting the best of both methods, group and individual work. Nice balance.
ReplyDeleteGood job this month team! Sounds like you are all communicating well and have great collaboration for the remainder of the semester. - hilary callas
ReplyDeleteInteresting how your group has been able to collaborate both in writing separate "mini" papers as well as together as one group. This is challenging even for the best, high performing groups. Great job!

It seems this group was able to get a lot accomplished this month by dividing up roles to different members of the group. My group found this method very useful for our assignments and collaborations as well. Excellent job Group 1!
