Implementing Technological Communication for Online Class Group Work

As more colleges and universities begin to offer traditional engineering courses online, there will be a need to conduct remote group work effectively. Online collaborative methods were implemented into two online classes requiring group case studies. Every group used each method at least once, after which, students completed a survey asking them about their thoughts on the importance, effectiveness, and efficiency of the various communication methods. Overall, the students felt the implementation of the technological communication was beneficial, but also offered suggestions for improvement.
