Using a Wiki...

The wiki our group used most for this project is the Googledocs. Before this module, I already knew about Googledocs. As Yinghui mentioned, it is a great collaborative tool for project work with auto-save function and a chat-box for us to communicate.  While we also used the NUS wiki, I feel that Googledocs is much more convenient and easy to use; and I personally prefer its interface.




Besides using Googledocs for our group report, we also used email and Windows messenger to send powerpoint slides to each other. Thus, it can be seen how technology has indeed facilitated programmes which can provide great convenience and aid to project work.

As Yinghui mentioned, each of us in the group had the initiative to finish our tasks on time and did not resolve to slipshod work despite having a lot of other assignments on hand. This project was smooth-sailing and an enjoyable one for me, and I feel that perhaps one day in the near future, URA may really implement what our proposals have included. ;)

  1. Hi Xiuxian,

    I was amazed with your team's proposal. You proposed three policies and did an in-depth research on each of them. Good job!

    Personally, I also prefer googledocs. It is easier to use and there is a chat-box there. But in the end, our group chose wiki because we want to try this "sounded new" platform for our project.

    Nevertheless, each of them still has their own advantage and drawback over the other. As long as it serves the purpose of saving our time and contribute to the progress of the project, that should be fine.

    All the best for your final exams and future endeavor! :)
