Designing Successful Virtual Team Experiences: A Lifecycle Approach for Instructors
Abstract
Team-based learning is the norm in higher education courses. However, in many online courses, students are expected to navigate teamwork independently with few supports built into the course design. Ultimately, this can lead to ineffective teamwork and negative learning experiences. This chapter presents a comprehensive lifecycle approach to supporting virtual team success, focusing on the design of three essential team development phases: 1) team launch, 2) task launch, and 3) performance cycles and evaluation. Drawing on established theoretical models and empirical research, the authors provide instructors with practical strategies, activities, and tools to help students develop teamwork competencies and support overall team effectiveness in virtual learning environments.
