So if you haven’t heard, we are creating a new version of GroupTable that we have dubbed “GTV2″ (I know we’re sooo creative). We have been working hard on GTV2 based on your feedback and visions we have as well. GTV2 will have an enhanced design, additional features, better usability and a stronger backend. Today we had a very productive day and some great progress with GTV2. Here’s a picture of Zach & Carl discussing Geek stuff.
Our design is nearly complete and Zach & Carl were discussing how they plan on bringing GTV2 to life. Scott was in South Florida building relationships with organization heads and introducing them to GroupTable, but spent some time conferencing with me about cool things we are adding to our strategic plan. In addition to that I worked on creating content for certain pages that will be used on GTV2, as well as putting a time-line together for certain initiatives.
After our meeting we decided to celebrate a day well spent and went to grab some grub & drinks at Chilli’s…MMMM
Anyways, we look forward to sharing everything we have been working on for GTV2 with you guys in the Fall…Your gonna love it!
With the help of several professors, the GroupTable staff has put together a list of tips that we hope will help your group project team this upcoming semester. Here they are:
We’re working hard to enhance GroupTable for all of you and hope these tips combined with our software will help you save time and get better grades. See you in the Fall!
Today an article about GroupTable was published in the Central Florida Future by Jillian Krotki. The article discussed our promotional event, upcoming enhancements to the site and some future plans. You can read the article here: GroupTable Article
Here is a snippet from the article:
GroupTable.com is an online collaboration tool created to assist student groups with document management, communication, organization and project planning. It was founded by UCF students David Brim, Carl Henderson and Scott Wall.
Being business majors, these students quickly learned how difficult it is to bring groups of people together to work on projects and group assignments when everyone is running on a different schedule.
“It’s a challenge to bring everyone together, and often times when you do there are a lot of distractions and nothing is accomplished,” Brim said, the co-founder and product manager for GroupTable.com. The statewide launch of the product will take place this fall and by spring the team plans to spread nationwide.
On the site, groups are able to create to-do lists and share ideas through messages and chat rooms. Files can be uploaded and shared and deadlines can be assigned for different aspects of the workload to ensure that everyone is doing their part. All of the files and folders are stored in one location, which allows all members of the group to stay organized.
Hello everyone…I haven’t been updating this blog as much as I’d like to recently, but we haven’t forgot about you…The GroupTable Staff has been very busy working to enhance GroupTable and are very thrilled to announce that the release of “GTV2″ will be sometime in the Fall Semester.
GTV2 will have all of the same features as GroupTable version one and a lot more. We were pleased to receive so much positive feedback during the summer semester and are working hard to integrate a lot of these suggestions into the new version. We are also in the process of re-designing our site. The new design will look much more appealing, be easier to use and will give us a foundation to expand our site’s features to better fit your needs.
All of this will make your GroupTable experience even better….As I said “GTV2″ is still in the works, but here is a little sneak peak of the mock up of our landing page…
We look forward to seeing all of you Fall Semester! We hope your as excited as we are
I was just glancing at GroupTable’s stats and noticed a decent amount of traffic was going to GroupTable from UCF’s website. I explored the issue further and sure enough noticed they posted an article about our recent promotion. You can see the article here: UCF GroupTable Article
Overall the article was not bad, however it still seems that the writers don’t quite get exactly what we do. GroupTable is a collaborative software that is tailored to fit the needs of student group projects, study groups and organizations. It facilitates group collaboration, communication and organization and helps them to work more efficiently.
The article says that we are a student networking and document sharing site. Though students can network somewhat through GroupTable we are not what I would call a networking site. In addition to that sharing documents is only one aspect of our site. We also offer task management, online chat, discussion boards, file organization and more.
We are in the midst of enhancing GroupTable even more for the fall semester…Stay tuned!
GroupTable had it’s first official promotion today…Awww our baby is growing up The event occurred at UCF from 8:00 am until about 4:00 pm. Several current GroupTable users volunteered to help us spread the word and it really made the event a success in my book. We handed out promotional material, jammed to some music, and ate some pizza. Here’s some pictures of the event:
I’ll keep everybody updated on when the next event is…It should be a lot of fun!
Zach, one of our developers was kind enough to set us up with a WordPress blog. Here you will be able to hear us rant about new features and new events that GroupTable will be a part of. We hope you leave us feedback, come out and see us when we have events, and help us promote GroupTable and become a success story like many others.
Stay tuned for more posts, I’m sure Dave will have plenty to say
