Chapter 2 focuses on the team formation in online teamwork which has become an important issue as (higher) education increasingly moves to online learning and teaching environments. Accordingly, various digital approaches and practical tools enabling and supporting team forming are presented and discussed.
Thus, Chapter 2 aims at supporting learners, particularly teachers, to identify purposes for teamwork, choose appropriate approaches for online team formation and facilitate online team engagement. Different digital tools are characterised and valued.
