Currently, online degrees make up 29% of all degrees awarded at Boise State University. Additionally, one-third of all students have enrolled in one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boise State Online\u2019s<\/a> many course offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online learning is appealing to degree-seeking students by helping to mitigate limiting factors of on-campus enrollment, such as transportation, location, schedule and tuition costs. Make no mistake, these online courses are accredited and designed by Boise State faculty and instructional designers in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/ecampus-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eCampus Center<\/a>, ensuring students receive the same high-quality education as in-person learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, online students may not be fully prepared for the fact that coursework expectations are just as high \u2014 despite the convenience of learning from home. This is especially true when it comes to collaboration and group work in a fully remote setting. We asked Boise State online faculty and staff to share the benefits of virtual teamwork, what it might look like for their courses and how it enriches their students\u2019 overall educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-online-students-benefit-from-virtual-teamwork\">How online students benefit from virtual teamwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why emphasize teamwork when students aren\u2019t in person? In a nutshell, teamwork offers more opportunities for students to engage with one another and the class materials. Students who are missing the social aspect of higher education can greatly benefit from online teamwork, as it also helps create personal and professional relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/146\/2019\/02\/OnlineBSIS-student-at-coffee-shop-patio_8106619_1600x826-1024x529.png\" alt=\"Boise State Online student with laptop sitting at coffee shop patio.\" class=\"wp-image-1191\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe hear from students that they make lifelong friends and learn so much from the diverse experiences of those across the country during this shared experience,\u201d said Natalie Mourant Hodges, director of interventional cardiology and radiology, advanced medical imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of Boise State\u2019s fully online programs, such as the online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/mba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master of Business Administration<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/opwl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master of Science in Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/online-master-of-accountancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master of Science in Accountancy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/advanced-medical-imaging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging<\/a>, already have a teamwork component built into their coursework. Newer online programs \u2014 like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/bachelor-social-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bachelor of Social Work<\/a> \u2014 are also being designed with group work in mind, including group discussions and peer feedback. Giving and receiving feedback better prepares students for collaboration in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/2025\/04\/25\/your-guide-to-boise-state-online-degrees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your guide to Boise State Online degrees<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online teamwork also serves as a countermeasure to the use of AI on discussion boards, which can <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10124679\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diminish the quality of student engagement<\/a>. Ally Daniels, the Online Master of Business Administration (OMBA) director, tackles this issue head-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA highlight of our program is that many of our courses use interactive discussion boards \u2014 so students have a topic or questions that they can get together on Zoom to discuss,\u201d she said. \u201cThey record the conversation, and sometimes the professor even joins the meeting for grading.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/146\/2020\/10\/DSC_4123-2600x1374Web-1024x541.png\" alt=\"Man on couch with laptop\" class=\"wp-image-14685\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels received feedback on the interactive discussion boards from the 2024-2025 OMBA graduating class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI liked how the class made the discussion boards more interactive. We would do assignments individually and then discuss as a group in a recorded video session. Everyone loved the approach,&#8221; answered a former student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another student answered, \u201cI felt the interaction with my classmates was more educational and more impactful compared to posting and responding to weekly posts. My design thinking project and my accounting project were the two best projects I worked on, and both had team components.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-online-teamwork-look-like\">What does online teamwork look like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its many benefits, <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10038701\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online teamwork isn\u2019t without its challenges<\/a>, namely ensuring that group projects are well-planned and that the expectations for individual contributions are clear. That\u2019s a goal across all Boise State Online programs. Online teamwork should also demonstrate the <a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/EJ1374284.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">utility value<\/a> of engagement and participation by emphasizing the real-world experience students will acquire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The online advanced medical imaging program provided an example of what their group work might look like in practice. \u201cOur students work together on multiple projects throughout the program, as healthcare is a team sport. Students work together within and across imaging disciplines to prepare them for the interprofessional healthcare teams that they will experience in their clinical work,\u201d Hodges said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/146\/2023\/06\/Johnson-St-093020-Boise-State-Online-66-664x664-1.jpg\" alt=\"A male student sits on a couch with a laptop computer\" class=\"wp-image-32501\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boise State Extended Studies, September 30, 2020.

They are encouraged to develop group norms, including specific expectations and a communication plan. It reflects the diverse time zones and personal responsibilities they may be juggling as both students and working professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hodges added that imaging students accomplish this by designating a \u201cteam leader\u201d to represent the group and hold everyone accountable for their deliverables, much like a project manager would.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/2025\/02\/03\/unlocking-success-with-online-degrees-what-every-student-should-look-for-in-a-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unlocking success with online degrees<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For courses in the Online Master of Business Administration, Daniels shared that \u201cMany case studies are group case studies \u2014 so students read and analyze the case, then either discuss with a team and\/or do a write up. We also have negotiation exercises in the human resources class where students have a partner and perform a scenario with them. We also have simulations in some classes that students work on as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josh Pilzen, the director of the Online Master of Science, Accountancy, drives the point home on how online teamwork can help prepare students for the workforce by describing a semester-long project where students must analyze a company and prepare a written report and presentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStudents appreciate the real-world applicability of that particular project,\u201d said Pilzen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courses will vary, but the essence of online teamwork \u2014 and learning in general \u2014 is to approach each project with an open mind and a willingness to participate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more-about-boise-state-online\">Learn more about Boise State Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boise State Online offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/online\/online-degrees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">100+ online programs and 1,000+ unique online courses<\/a> to help you make your educational dreams a reality \u2014 and we\u2019re here to support you every step of the way.
