Crowd Power is one of the great powers that cannot be generating by electricity. When there are people gathering in a group, crowd power will be form. In week 7, we have succeeded in gathering all the information in a wiki and share the information and ideas to each other. Our group member works effectively because we can research the information at the same time and put the information to the wiki.
By sharing the information at the same place and time, the wiki provide us a lot of benefits such as transferring information to each other instantly through wiki. Whenever one refreshes the wiki site, there will be new information or comments comes up and users can reply according to the source or information provided.
However there were limitations during our collective project. When we were doing a topic, chances that each of us would find the same sources and examples were high. It was very time consuming to do another research again when someone has already done it. Also, each of us may also have different point of views and it was very difficult for us to overcome this challenge by having only one idea.
Difference between teamwork and hierarchy is teamwork always produce more ideas and information. When there are a group of people doing one topic, there will be different of voices and ideas. However it will be really hard to get the information arrange since there were too much to organize. On the other hand, when I am working by myself, there may not be too many ideas or information but the information will be well organized since I will be only doing my own section of information. To give the best performance during teamwork, all the group members should understand the materials that they will be doing the research on. Also, the main topic has to be dividing into different sections so members can work on their own without having confusing. If everyone do their section well and organize, teamwork in a wiki will be a success.
