Business Projects and Home Work – A Team Collaboration

As an online student, it's easy to sit back quietly while the virtual classroom takes on a life of its own. After all, you're not in a physical classroom setting and there's no direct interaction on a regular basis. Or is there? The secret to virtual success is understanding and participating in group discussion. This can happen through email communication, by participating and posting to student web boards, or perhaps through various online web interfaces, video conferencing, teleconferencing, etc.

You may be getting top academic grades, but losing out in the area of participation. Instructors often assign a portion of the grade toward active participation for some very good reasons including:

  • Networking – The people you meet today may very well be people you'll end up working with
  • Problem-Solving Skills – Working with a diverse group of students, you'll have to figure out how you're going to work effectively as a team.
  • Sharing – Everyone has a modicum of experience to bring to the table. By participating in discussions, group work, etc., you'll have an opportunity to share some of the things you've learned along the way which will, in turn, benefit others.
It's important to interact with your peers in a positive, professional manner, to get the most out of your business degree and your education in general.
