Week 7 - Learning Journal Post Part I We are currently focusing on completing the final research video project for this class. Initially, we had to prioritize finishing a significant ethics essay paper, which took up a lot of our time. However, we are making progress on the video project, which is about augmented reality. Our task involves creating two videos: one directed towards a professional audience and the other one towards kids. To collaborate effectively, we have been using Discord and Google Drive for communication and sharing documents. Planning the project has been challenging, especially as my classmates and I work full-time jobs. Finding time to work together has been tough. I believe time management will continue to be a common challenge for teams, regardless of the project. Despite these challenges, I am confident we are headed in the right direction, and I hope to have a successful research video project by the end of the week.

Week 6 - Learning Journal Post Part I: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas This week, my group members and I brainstormed some possible capstone project ideas for the future. One potential project is in cybersecurity. Perhaps we could develop new software and integrate it into the applications we use daily. Additionally, we considered exploring AI-related projects, as now is an opportune time to delve into the AI field. It's possible we could incorporate AI into the cybersecurity project. Currently, we have another project lined up for the next two weeks: creating two videos about augmented reality. The first video will be a professional presentation aimed at our classmates and professors, allowing us to delve deeper into the topic. The second video will be simplified for elementary school students. I believe that working on this assignment will inspire more ideas for our future capstone project.

Modules 6 & 7 - Collaboration (by OLI) This week in OLI, I learned more about conflict management, learning to approach conflicts strategically. Evaluating the value of relationships and considering the long-term impact on oneself were emphasized as crucial factors in conflict resolution. The importance of assessing whether the conflict is worth investing energy into and determining the most effective approach. One notable lesson involved identifying and addressing an escalating conflict. I observed a conflict unfolding from the beginning, characterized by raised voices and apparent irritation. However, as the situation unfolded, it became clear that a simple issue, a piece of wood under the table, was causing the problem. This highlighted the significance of early intervention and the potential for a straightforward resolution. Conflict can emerge right from the start, especially if someone in the team perceives a problem. Furthermore, I learned to recognize signs of conflict esca
