Abstract
This chapter reviews the support of asynchronous teams, initially utilising Intranet-based mini-case study publication with Web-based conferencing. There was subsequent use of Lotus Notes within the same context. The specific situation relates to large groups of one-year full time MBA students. The chapter reports on this exercise from both pedagogic and groupware perspectives. Implications, and planned future developments of this approach, are reviewed.
