Overall, the instructors thoughtthat adding virtual communications enhanced the effectiveness of these activities. It wasparticularly helpful for the teams to have more immediate and direct access to their sponsorsto get answers to their questions and feedback on their ideas. In past years, contact withsponsors as the year progressed was largely via e-mail communications. Responses via e-mail were often significantly delayed. It might just be the novelty of industry starting tobroadly embrace virtual meeting technology, but the experience of the teams as

They tend to lose sight of the forest for the trees. That is, they get so bogged down inthe details of their lives that they tend to ignore the big questions involving overall worldview.Sometimes they establish a particular worldview early in their lives and try to force-fit any newlylearned information into an old and outdated worldview. Many peoples‟ worldviews areestablished, or significantly modified, during their higher education experience because this iswhen they receive a huge influx of information from diverse fields and meet many new andinteresting people.

An additional channel of communication that is proposed in the ECNQ model islearning and referencing student names during or outside the lecture hall to establish a sense ofcommunity and bond with the class.
