| Abstract | Since summer 2010, we teach a practice supervision course at the Berlin School of Economics and Law. The students were distributed across different countries with all sessions taking place in a virtual world, with additional support by a learning management system (Moodle) and blogging software (WordPress). In our research, which is part of a larger project focusing on improvement of further education in small and medium-sized enterprises, we wanted to find out to which extent advanced group activities can be transferred to the virtual realm. We find that not only can most group-based activities be transferred but that some complex techniques such as role playing, work even better in the virtual classroom than in the physical one. | |
