Preparing students for virtual teams - the use of virtual tools in the management classroom

KEYWORDS: virtual tools, communication,online

Working virtually has become the norm and students need to learn how to use technology to work in geographically dispersed teams. The purpose of this session is to introduce three different technological platforms and specific assignments that we have used (in on-ground classes, but which also could be used in online teaching) that help students practice how to communicate with one another in both asynchronous and synchronous platforms. Participants will leave the session with both a greater understanding of several technology tools, but also specific activities that they can take back to their classrooms. Relevant materials will also be provided.
