In Unit 1 you were introduced to the Social Identity Wheel and have returned to it in each of the units in relation to each of the topics covered in the course. As mentioned in Unit 1, the aim is to provide an opportunity to consider how identities can impact online meetings and specifically, how they can make meetings easier or more challenging for different people.
In summary, more productive and pleasant meetings are also those that are equitable – this message should help you in future meetings, as well as in your everyday life. The next activity returns to the questions you were asked in Unit 1 so you can consider if your answers have changed at all.
