Describe a common and measurable collaborative goal. This is not an individual goal; it is a group goal. This can be a goal the group is already working on at work, at school, or at home. The group should be able to accomplish this goal in two weeks (or a sub-goal if you are working on a longer-term goal) during Weeks 4 and 5 of this course.

 

Here are some examples of common goals you may decide to work on:

• Organizing a room in a home or apartment.
• Cooking a new dish or elaborate meal.
• Creating an art project (e.g., mural, sculpture, drawing, et cetera).
• Putting together a crowdfunding idea.
• A project at work you have to complete.
• A virtual party or get-together.
• Planning a safe social event.
• A health or fitness goal.
• A plan for staying connected with someone.
• An environmental clean-up project in your community.
• Volunteer efforts such as a book drive, food drive, et cetera.

Step 3: Identify the other 2-4 members of your group and their roles and responsibilities.

Step 4: Describe how you will work together.

• You may work with family members, friends, classmates, co-workers, or anyone else you will be able to collaborate with during this time period.
• Collaboration should be accomplished through strategies and tools.
  • Collaboration strategies or approaches can include in-person meetings, active listening, phone conversations, organization, sub-goals, etc.
  • Collaboration tools can include Google Docs, Monday, Zoom, Skype, Smartsheet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Microsoft Office 365, et cetera. Make a plan for how your team will collaborate (using strategies and tools) and what each specific person's role and responsibilities will be.

Step 5: Upload the completed document to the Week 4 Assignment link in Week 4 of Blackboard.

Note: This activity will prepare you for your Week 6 Assignment where you will analyze and reflect on the collaborative process. For now, concentrate on your Week 4 Assignment.
