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.
