Joint report 30-08-09

For the weekend assignment and for later on, we were supposed to make groups of 2-4 students.

Our group comprises of the following members,

- Kamil Kozuch
- Michael Lee
- Gulomjon Sobirov
- and myself, Waqar Azim

All four of us come from different countries so it seems like a good idea/experience to understand what others think of the new environment.

Our joint report regarding observations of the local environment, is published at the following link:

Distance collaboration
Unfortunately I was unable to join my group members in synchronous writing because of some issues, but we did have a joint telephonic conversation that worked well among the four of us.

I was looking at the features of an online collaboration tool known as 'Adobe ConnectNow'. I have used it just once but it seems like a great way to chat, talk (voice and video) as well as have a shared whiteboard experience in the same window.

We might try using it in our next online group meeting.
