Introduction:
In the fall of 2021, I took a class called IT 21010 Workgroup Productivity. In this class the whole semester we were tasked to work in a group and create a company. This included a website, location, social media, products, prices, and everything else that a real company has. The only real difference is we had no physical product. In this group I had the job of designing the website, creating the social media, and a product catalog.
The Project:
The first part of the project was, as a group we had to decide what are business would be . The idea was we would be a taxi service for private companies. Also, on top of it being a ride service provider, we would only use Tesla cars to drive people. These cars were going to be used to transport employees to and from work. Therefore, big companies like Amazon, Google, and others could offer a ride service to their employees. This was supposed to encourage people to enter the workforce and to help the companies ensure employees would come to work on time. Finally, as a group we named the company AMO - Rides.
Next, I was tasked with creating a product catalog and a website for the project. This product catalog would be printed out and handed to people who are interested. This product catalog included the packages, what they included, and the prices associated with them. I used Microsoft Word to create this catalog which allowed me to really learn and and further my understanding of Microsoft Word.
After completing the catalog I moved on to starting the website. The website was a major part of the project that would be where most of our work would be displayed. I created the website using WIX because that was recommended by the professor. It was my second time ever creating a website. First time ever using WIX. The website was going to be one of only a couple of things that we turned in. The website would have all the information and projects that other members of my group worked on. The website included all the other student's projects, a home page, a "Why choose us page", a services page, and a contact us tab.
In conclusion, working on this project with 5 other people helped me gain a lot of insight into working with a team toward a common goal. What makes it more impressive is we did this all without even seeing each other in person one time. We did this completely online. Therefore, this project shows that I am able to work in a group completely online to work towards a common goal just like working from home. Also, I was able to gain more experience designing and creating websites.
