Reflections on CCR Project
We learned it was more difficult to communicate via technology (e.g. webcam) and learn and pick up things as an audience. We learned that there are varying types of humor across the world and that what we find funny isn't necessarily what they find funny. The importance of cultural reference and DOXA were stressed throughout this project. This will help us utilize new technology that may be used on a wide scale in the future to help us communicate in business settings. Working in groups across culture helped us hone our communication skills in a team setting which will be valuable down the road. The session with John Paval educated us on public speaking as well as the importance of emphasizing key points through speaking and hand gestures to help the audience maintain key information from your presentation.
