Bob, Understand your concerns on keeping team sizes even etc and echo Jim and others comments about getting the team and or class' input.Though it is not doctrinaire, I have been forced with my video conferencing history courses to run teams of 3 people in size, based on low enrollments at remote sites. It is not optimal, particularly as a small flu or 1 absence can have a huge impact. But I have found that as long as I recalibrate the complexities of the team tasks, it works fine.Best of luck to you! -Mike Welker History Adjunct North Central State College Mansfield, Ohio 419.755.4706 [log in to unmask] "Remember, I'm pulling for you... we're all in this together.
