Virtual Teaming in Online Education: Does It Work?
Abstract
The global economy has given rise to the concept of virtual teaming in which team members work without the boundaries of space and time, both within and outside the confines of a single organization, in order to compete in an ever-changing business environment. This case raises questions as to the efficiency and effectiveness of virtual teaming by examining survey responses from 128 online MBA students who were required to work on virtual project teams as part of the class requirements. The vast majority of the students (84%) were in the 21-40 year old age range and tended to have a high comfort level (99%) with the Learning Management System (LMS) utilized by the academic institution. Using a survey method with both Likert-style options and open response items, the authors explore the major causes that may impact the success of working and learning on teams that cross time and distance barriers.
