Abstract: Student work groups in higher education are not always operational; teachers should \nuse methods for the early detection of dysfunctions to help remedy deficiencies that \nhamper group effectiveness. We have found that polling at different moments in an \nactivity is instrumental in spurring groups to correct their shortcomings. This paper \npresents the perceptions of a cohort of engineering students, whose group work was \nimproved as a result of polling during a telematic simulation with student teams from \nother countries. Qualitative analysis of the students’ personal reflections shows that \nseveral factors were related to active participation and group effectiveness. These \nincluded greater familiarity among members, awareness of group performance, \nefficient inter- and intra-group communication, suitable task distribution and work \norganization.
