Individualistic and unwilling to see others, unwillingness to share knowledge and experiences and irresponsible.

A grade that would best describes our output as a group. However we wish to achieve at least a DISTINCTION as we contiribute enough dedication to this part of the project.

Passion for e-learning, Hardworking with knowledge on the subject matter, Earnest desire to work in a collaborative environment, Not a burden to the group and willing to contribute and learn and ideas and experiences via collaboration.

Not well converse with some aspects of the technology, Irritation to group members who are not cooperative and always want to be too perfect.
 * 7. What are our weaknesses**

We would like to communicate daily online, and at least once a week face to face,as all of the Explorers do a couple of common subjects this semester.
 * 8. How would you like to arrange meetings - online or f2f – frequency**

The group decisions will be made based on the merits of the undertaking which would bring upmost benefit to the whole team. We understand that respecting the majority of the group would the best practice in a democratic environment.
 * 9. How do you think the group should make decisions?**

We will help and guide the member and encourage him/her to reach the standards of the group. However, if a member is facing a genuine difficulty in terms of completing a task or meeting the everage group standard, he/she need to inform and discuss with other members of the group prior to the deadline.
 * 10. What if a group member's work doesn't meet our standards - how do you think we should deal with this?**

The above key ideas and guideline is based on the majority of the individual members suggestions which have been posted to the our e-learning community, eLearning Experiences, Ning.

We, The Explorers, as a team, believe that the above charter and we agree to follow the guidelines throughout the task. If we face an unexpected difficulty, we will discuss among ourselves and prefer group benefits rather than individuals.
