Abstract
Collaboration on projects is common-place in higher education and may present additional challenges in an asynchronous online course. Using regression and correlation analysis, we examine both personality and teamwork attributes to determine which factors contribute the most to gains in perceived productivity. The implications of this study can be used for initial team formation, team management, coaching and mentoring, and instructor involvement in student teams by focusing on attributes most attributed to higher perceived productivity in virtual settings.
