If you want to see true teamwork in action, watch a two-person juggling act. After all, there are few activities where you count on your partner more than, say, throwing chain saws to each other. Do the wrong thing or send the wrong signal, and things come crashing noisily to the ground... or worse. But when two jugglers are working well as a team-when they're communicating and cooperating and each is doing his or her role perfectly-a rhythm happens. Each person thrives on the others good work, and compensates for each others mistakes. This give and take, complete with sharp knives flying through the air, is like when a company's team is firing on all cylinders.

E-learners must convert the “here I am, teach me”
frame of mind into a “here I am, let’s learn together”
mindset (McCormick, 2004) in order to elevate their
individual and collective potential success while
becoming comfortable with how to learn through
online communications.
