Team and Media Competencies in Information Systems

Numerous studies indicate that team competencies, based on effective virtual and face-to-face communication, are a key factor for successful IT project work. The major goal of this book is to investigate the influence of person-centered interventions in technology-enhanced environments on the development of team knowledge, skills and attitudes. A further aim is to improve the understanding of teamwork and associated media use in the Computer Science and Information Systems studies. Finally, the book draws up general concepts referring to ways of supporting teamwork and promoting team competencies of students in the context of Computer Science and Information Systems curricula.
