Answer to Question 1

Synchronous communication occurs when all team members meet at the same time.
Face-to-face meetings and conference calls are examples of synchronous communication.
Asynchronous communication occurs when team members do not meet at the same time. Email,
discussion forums, and team surveys are examples of asynchronous communication. Virtual
meetings in which participants do not meet in the same place and possibly not at the same time
can be both synchronous and asynchronous. If the virtual meeting is synchronous (all meet at the
same time), participants can use conference calls, webinars, or multiparty text chat. A webinar is
a virtual meeting in which attendees view one of the attendees' computer screens for a more
formal and organized presentation. Videoconferencing is another synchronous method. When a
team must meet asynchronously, most members try to communicate via email.
