It highlights the challenges posed by cultural diversity and communication barriers in global teams while emphasizing the importance of creating virtual collaboration experiences for students. Despite the prevalence of distributed teams in industry, there is a notable lack of studies focused on the comparative effectiveness in educational contexts, prompting the exploration of this subject.
