I think the most useful thing I learned in this module was online collaboration. I had an Economic history class that asks students to have a group presentation every two weeks. At first, we sent our PowerPoint to each other by email, which is time-waste and complicated. In the second week, one of my group members mentioned Google Doc. After using Google Docs, the working efficiency is much higher. In the future, I will recommend Google online services to my friends, and apply them in virtual lessons.
I will use “18 Etiquette Tips for E-mailing Your Professor”. As mentioned in the article, the email is forever. Therefore, we need to promise our emails are polite and targeted. Sometime, there will be some accidents we need to talk with the professor. Instead of office hour, emails may be the most efficient method. We need to make our emails be simple and concise, logical and acknowledge. Moreover, being polite is also necessary. Not only to show your respect but also to keep a moderate connection with the professor.
I will recommend “5 tips for lazy group project”. I believe everyone has met a group member who would finish his part at the last minute or did it poorly. After reading this, I want to share with my classmates that providing a clear time schedule and tasks list rather than complaining will be much more helpful.
