Reflection on creating the mini-course of Adult Education for Community Workers

In my opinion, successful teamwork is dependent on several different factors: the personalities of the people involved; clear expectation; clear division of work; everyone feeling like they made equal contributions; all members' voices were heard; unity of message; collective work towards a common goal. Working in the small group for creating the mini-course for Assignment 2 met all of those factors. This was probably the smoothest group project I have worked on ever. Working with A.P, L.C. and S.K. to formulate our course on Adult Education for Community Workers was a seamless and collective process right from the beginning. While it was A.P. who came up with the initial suggestion of our mini-course topic, we were all agreed and enthusiastic about what the topic was, what each of the modules would be and what each of our roles would consist of. This was immediately agreed upon.

In this project, we all did an equal and collective amount of work. We worked as a team, as individuals and also collaboratively to build a mini-course with which all of us are proud of the final outcome. While A.P, L.C. and myself each were responsible for one of the modules, S.K. did an equal amount of work by contributing the "Practical Aspects" section for each of our modules; developing the Forum assignments; creating the Padlet and Welcome infographic; and supporting us each in the development of our modules. I mention this because his work may be initially less visible in that he doesn't have an individual module, but he did an equal share of the work.

My main tasks included creating the Transformative Learning Theory module, the Course Description and the Feedback Survey. I think this was equally a quarter of the work and am proud of my individual accomplishments on this project as well as what we achieved as a team. It really was my pleasure to work with this group of people and to come together to fulfill the essential elements of successful teamwork in a stress-free project that we all were invested in.
