In a virtual meeting, how can you ensure a group is communicating effectively?

Create an agenda for a team meeting on a topic of your choice (don’t forget to use the format discussed in Week 1, appendix A including discussion and action items!).

Draw from your own experience working within a group with the goal of achieving a specific task. You may use your experience as a student working in a group, or develop a plan for a future learning team.

Include specific items requiring group discussion and consensus.

Write a 500-750-word essay, discussing the following:

• In a virtual meeting, how can you ensure a group is communicating effectively?
• How can you ensure that each team member understands what the next steps are required to achieve the meeting’s goals?
• What are the characteristics of effective teams?
• How do roles, needs, and diversity affect teamwork? Provide specific examples.
• What are components of group diversity?
