OLS 56000 - Leadership of Virtual Teams

Introduces students to contemporary theories, concepts, and applications of virtual teamwork. Students explicitly examine the differences in virtual and collocated team development, and use emerging theories (e.g., team identity theory) and perspectives (e.g., online community development) to predict and explain virtual team behavior and leadership decisions. This course requires Internet connection and completion of some collaborative tasks, while maintaining only computer and technological linkages to widely dispersed team members.
