在21世纪的世纪，团队工作越来越需要在线合作技能以及与面对面团队工作相关的传统技能。虚拟团队工作在许多方面不同于面对面的团队工作，例如解释视觉线索的替代品，适应同步通信，发展信任和凝聚力以及文化解释。然而，在高等教育中工作的学生团队只能模拟团队工作，因为它可能在今天的组织中经历。例如，学生可以在一个没有威胁的环境中从错误中学习，同事们往往是建立的朋友，评估团队合作鼓励“搭便车”等行为。使用原型设计的方法，其中涉及学生和导师，系统已被设计为支持学习者参与团队工作。该系统帮助学生充分发挥潜力，并了解虚拟团队合作的问题。监护人代理系统使团队能够分配项目任务，并根据个人的喜好为团队商定基本规则。从四个周期的使用结果，连同迭代测试所产生的修改。结果表明，学生发现该系统在准备团队合作有用，并鼓励系统的进一步发展。
In the 21st century team working increasingly requires online cooperative skills as well as more traditional skills associated with face to face team working. Virtual team working differs from face to face team working in a number of respects, such as interpreting the alternatives to visual cues, adapting to synchronous communication, developing trust and cohesion and cultural interpretations. However, co‐located student teams working within higher education can only simulate team working as it might be experienced in organisations today. For example, students can learn from their mistakes in a non‐threatening environment, colleagues tend to be established friends and assessing teamwork encourages behaviour such as “free‐riding”. Using a prototyping approach, which involves students and tutors, a system has been designed to support learners engaged in team working. This system helps students to achieve to their full potential and appreciate issues surrounding virtual teamwork. The Guardian Agent system enables teams to allocate project tasks and agree ground rules for the team according to individuals’ preferences. Results from four cycles of its use are presented, together with modifications arising from iterations of testing. The results show that students find the system useful in preparing for team working, and have encouraged further development of the system.
