Team Trust in Online Education: Assessing and Comparing Team-Member Trust in Online Teams versus Face-to-Face Teams
Beranek, Peggy M.; French, Monique L.
Journal of Distance Education, v25 n3 2011
Trust is a key factor in enabling effective team performance and, in online teams, needs to be built quickly and early. As universities expand their online offerings students are increasingly working in online teams. Understanding how trust development may differ in online teams versus face-to-face can have implications for online education development. This study compared trust levels in online and face-to-face teams at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester after the teams worked together on a series of tasks. The findings indicate that online teams do develop trust in their teammates, and actually have higher trust levels on a variety of trust dimensions. (Contains 6 tables and 1 figure.)
