TeamViewer - Positive & Negatives

Positives

➔ Easy to edit our work when we weren’t physically together.➔ Video chat option made communication easy.

Negatives

➔ Slow at the start either due to internet issues or using different systems.

14

Situations that occurred

➔ Team viewer was slow because we had different computer systems

➔ Teamviewer has a video chat option to make communication easier

➔ Slack is generally handy and has good features such mentioning someone in a

comment and seeing if they reply and quicker than email

➔ Redpen was the tool that stood out as it was so easy to use and we ran into no

problems whilst using it.

15

Reflection

➔ Working in the same room we thought up of our scenario and discussed how it would develop.

➔ Each tool worked well on it’s own and didn’t necessarily need the support of the other tools.

➔ Working apart we used the tools and carried out the scenario.

➔ The scenario would have worked without meeting in person at all!

➔ Only problem faced with the technology was the delay when using TeamViewer.

➔ Red pen came out on top out of our three tools as it was so simple to use and it was extremely user

friendly.

➔ We feel that three tools we used were unique and innovative. It was a genuine fun experience to get to

learn to use all three. 16

Conclusion

➔ We learned how many different tools there are to coordinate, communicate

and collaborate. Although many are similar, they can all be used in different

situations.

➔ We learned how actual companies would communicate and work together

while in different locations.

➔ We learned how to overcome problems that would occur while working in

different locations.
