If it wasn't for COVID-19, Phil and myself would not have explored this form of multimedia (Zoom) as a work tool to create a quicker workflow for our projects. Thanks to the dedicated lecturers at SAE and online education, we have been able to use other tools of communication for our projects and this will be included as part of my personal workflow.
