An English teacher in Argentina describes her experience collaborating on a group project for an online education course. Her group was tasked with creating a 2-page document on how politics influences teaching. Only 3 of the 8 group members actively contributed to the shared document. The others made excuses for not participating and complained about the final product. Despite being short-staffed, the 3 active members were able to complete the assignment on time by effectively communicating and combining their work.
