Teaching Teamwork Online

Abstract

We report on the development of an innovative program aimed at providing online teamwork training for distributed professionals performing complex, highly interdependent tasks. Examples of teams for which this training would be appropriate include special purpose (e.g., crisis response) teams within command control organizations and operations centers, special operations teams, and medical teams. To maximize learning and flexibility, the program couples synchronous and asynchronous approaches to online learning, uses video judiciously to illustrate teamwork in a specific domain, and uses team members as session leaders.
