RUE Fitness, Inc., a commercial strength equipment manufacturer in O'Fallon, Missouri, contracts with several distributors overseas who exclusively sell weight machines to gyms and fitness studios, not to the general public. The distributor in the United Kingdom, Blake Luca, has sent a confusing order by e-mail containing incorrect item numbers and product names as well as inconsistent quantities of items. Mr. Luca doesn't respond to telephone calls or e-mail requests for clarification. You remember that you conversed with Mr. Luca via Skype and notice to your delight that your distributor seems to be online.

Using Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, or Teams, students must make a real call to their classmates, designated to play Mr. Luca and request clarification of the rather large order. They should improvise the details of the order in a Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, or Teams call to their peer (with or without a camera) applying the tips for virtual meetings, learned as part of the delivered lectures in this course. To use teleconferencing apps with or without a camera, students should select a laptop, computer lab desktop computer, smartphone, or iPad. After imitating this hypothetical teleconference, students must prepare a Report to be presented to the Instructor. The Student Report should include the following:

Task 1: The fact sheet or script of their conversation Task 2: Evaluation of the virtual meeting with Mr. Luca. Task 3: Which styles were used during this verbal communication? Task 4: What agreement was achieved during this conversation and what are the follow-up actions? Task 5: Any other feedback?
