Abstract

Although the dynamics of face-to-face teams in an educational setting have been well studied (Slavin, 1989), the use of virtual teams raises new issues in relation to how the physical, temporal and social separation of learners affect the learning process. This paper reports on the experiences of using virtual teams on the MBA program at Universitas 21 Global, a completely online university, and the four stage team maturity model devised to act as a framework for guiding virtual teams.
