Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, students need to adapt to the new way of learning, including collaborating in virtual teams. Thus, this paper aims to capture the students’ experience in collaborating virtually and describe the teams’ dynamics. The data were collected through individual feedback forms, group oral presentations, and course assessment documents from students enrolled in Group Communication and Organizational Communication course in Communication Science Study Program, Padjadjaran University. In general, the students are more satisfied working in teams that are “professional and fun”. These teams tend to be functional groups that focus on getting the job done while building positive relationships through socio-emotional communication, such as humor and non-task conversations. In addition, confirming responses and leadership roles were also found to contribute to team outcomes.
