Abstract	This paper describes a case study of one large asynchronous college-level organizational psychology class taught during COVID-19, in which a major intent was to develop virtual teamwork skills in students. A literature review yielded four challenges of virtual teams in higher education--communication, trust, connection and social bonding, and joint commitment and accountability. The course offered students an opportunity to authentically develop strategies to manage these challenges. Course design, team assignments, and instructional strategies utilized are described. Results from a survey completed by 89 (out of 115) students in the course revealed student-generated strategies and recommendations for virtual team collaboration. (As Provided).
