In order to work collaboratively and complete the Assignment in an organized and meaningful
way, you will be working together in a team forum.
•  Begin to plan how you will most effectively work with one another. It is often helpful to
appoint a Team Leader who will help keep the team on track.
•  Review reading materials, websites, and all other resources from the course and decide
how you collectively want to organize the brochure.
•  Decide as a team how you will focus the brochure , what materials you will use, and what
you will incorporate in the brochure.
•  Decide as a team how the work will be divided. Who will be responsible for what portion of
the content? How will you equally divide the work?
THESE DECISIONS AND DIALOGUES OCCUR IN THE TEAM FORUM ONLINE.
