Some people in my department are considering studying an online MBA, so we had a meeting yesterday to consider the various kinds of study that online MBAs can ask you to do. Many programs involve a fairly high percentage of the assessment (and some of the work) to be done as group work. This involves co-operation online, including messaging, conferencing and emailing between the groups, and even using telephone conferencing. In some programs the amount of group assessment can be as high as 30%
Other programs do not require this level of consultation, simply requiring groups to divide up work and then present it jointly, allowing the consultation to be done over a period of time. You have to decide how you want to study, and how you are going to schedule this kind of work into your own work timetable in order to make the decisions necessary to select the MBA program that is best for you.
