Journal of Information Technology Education Volume 8, 2009. Ground Rules in team Projects: Findings from a Prototype system to support students Janice Whatley Salford Business School, University of Salford Executive Summary Student team project work in higher education is one of the best ways to develop team working skills at the same time as learning about the subject matter. As today's students require the free- dom to learn at times and places that better match their lifestyles, there is a need for any support for team project work to be also available online. team working requires that the task roles as well as the maintenance roles are taken into consideration, in that social interactions are just as important as carrying out the tasks of the project . The literature indicates that groupware, whilst effective in supporting the task roles, provides lim- ited support for the maintenance roles of team working in the work place. As groupware was not specifically designed for student team working, it provides limited support for maintenance roles in student team projects.
