Background
Your group produced a narrative about how to organise a video conference between two companies. You were encouraged to use ideas about co-ordination (session 5 lecture). Now you can grasp some concepts for co-ordination design.
Part A
Our group played the company Q role, we have discussed about how will we better manage emotions and language, and how will we better communicate.
Emotion: We shall stay calm, and we shall be patient, for the reason that the people from company U might have a bad mood. And assure them about job in company.
Language: Use some common language like English, and we should include persons who have UK ascent, as translators. Another point is that everything should be in written form, like slides, so that people can read it, while someone speak.
Communication: To use video conference for a face to face talk.
To have a talk about culture, supporting things, along with business, to provide them a comfort level.
Part B
Explain:
Common Ground - Refers to common things/knowledge/language as experience between people communicating.
Affordance - Any object, along with its surroundings/content. Eg. Tools, along with their use.
Space - Complete scope, extension, barriers. eg. Using background screen for discussion or using different angles or views in conference, or different place/room/world.
Deictic - Point out. To 'point to' or 'refer to' something.
Part C
Instructions:
1> Get information about resources at the other end.
2> Tell our requirements to them, vice versa.
3> Plan about the meeting venue, time, duration.
4> Have a common plan/flow of conference/schedule, mention specific time slots for each activity.
5> Fix the agenda.
6> Check the equipments, try connection.
7> Action
At last
In session 6, we learnt about how to better manage emotions and language, and how can we better communicate with others. Video conference is a good way to communicate with people far away, because we can talk them face to face. Every tiny change on their face can we notice well, so we know well how they feel, and then, we can better decide in which way to mention the things we want to discuss. Time managing is important too, before we set up an real video conference, we should consider about what kind of things should be done before. Also, we realized that utlizing well the environment sometimes can give us a big help in communicating with others.

You take into consideration many aspects that affect coordination between people. You also discuss the importance of exchanging information and agreeing on certain things. Good job!
However video-conferencing is not the same as face-to-face communication. Face-to-face implies that people are collocated. Can video-conferencing really support deictic references and facial expressions as effectively as in face-to-face communication???
Nice pictures!
very clear and simple, good points of learning. You highlight the importance of having a common ground and to agree on things.
Agree with Andrie, perhaps bit of difference between face-to-face and mediated communication (using video conference) could have helped to design a plan. Current plan might not highlight differences.
