Roebuck, Deborah Britt Communication Skills Computer Mediated Communication Higher Education Organizational Communication Problem Solving Simulation Teaching Methods Teamwork Virtual teaming has come to stay in the fast developing world of communication as it brings more value to customers, saves costs, accelerates competence, and leverages organizational learning. Therefore, students need to be educated about this new type of team and the tools that are available to facilitate communication and to enhance productivity. This article explains a simulation that will allow students to communicate in virtual teams to solve a murder mystery. It provides a framework that enables a professor to quickly adapt the exercise for his or her particular needs. Students will benefit by learning how to work with other virtual teams without having face-to-face meetings. As more and more companies move to the virtual organization, students need to be prepared to communicate in this type of work setting. An appendix offers instructions to share with the class.
