PART A - Brainstorm Session

  1. What web conferencing tool did your group use?
A:  Our Group used Google Hangout and I recorded our session using Camtasia.
  1. What were the advantages to using the web conferencing tool to discuss this project?
A:  Advantages to using a web conferencing tool to discuss this project included having all members present at the same time and being able to make decisions at the time of discussion.  It was also nice to put a face and voice with the name and get a little bit of personality from the experience than from just words in an email.  Overall, it was a good experience to have and I am sure I will use it again.
  1. What were the disadvantages to using the web conferencing tool to discuss this project? 
A:  Disadvantages include finding a time when all of us could meet.  With different schedules and family situations, it made it difficult for us to come together at convenient times for members of the group.  There was also so much focus on the technology of making the web conferencing tool work, that some of the focus was taken away from the project.  There was also the part of getting this tool set up and keeping us all together.  Members would get dropped by computer malfunction, internet slowness or just plain hitting the wrong buttons at the wrong time! 

Here is the actual web conference brainstorm session recording:
