We have all experienced that any time we are facing any issue, we benefit of dialogue. And we know how frustration is an unprogressive discussion. What helps a diverse and large group of people to lead their dialogue to progress is democracy. Christakis, A. N., & Bausch, K. C. (2006) believe Co-Laboratories Democracy;
  • Discover root causes,
  • Adopt consensual action plans
  • Develop teams dedicated to implementing those plans
In online classes, students incorporate from different places with different cultures, religions, habits, interests, and so on. In these classes, students communicate in different manners. In other words, online teams are geographically diffused team. They might have team members from different backgrounds or cultures. Getting these students together with their diversity, and helping them to accomplish all course goals, need to have good team relationships. SDP process can be used to analyze an effective online course. To have an effective online course, special technology and tools are needed. Students need a learning environment which supports their needs and is an easy access course. In other words, the designers of these courses are walking a fine line between course options and tools.
