Sažetak
The paper focuses on social communication in cyberspace. Training of a virtual team is a way of improving social communication skills. Efficient teams may be organized as virtual cross-boundary teams, consisting of involved and motivated experts from around the world, prepared to solve tasks together at the same time. Team members cooperate in order to find the best solutions to problems. Do we dispose of a relevant methodology of virtual teamwork and adequate methods of work? The authors tried to answer that question by analysing the experience of virtual teamwork training. They delineate the experience of using different electronic communication means and tools, as well as advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous communication in virtual teamwork training courses. Virtual teamwork is seen as a starting point leading towards transformation of traditional organizational structure. The main task related to ICT usage in educational process is still focused on learning to use e-learning technology properly. However, new technologies require new pedagogical approaches, innovation of traditional teaching methods and a relevant communication strategy for effective work in cyberspace. The paper draws attention to social orientation and to specific forms of “ languaging” in cyberspace.
