This session reflects on how to foster shared leadership opportunities for group work in online learning environments through the study of how the leadership role was shared between virtual team members in an online game. Highlights from the study feature the game environment that was designed by Air University's Innovations and Integrations Division, the research methods, instruments and a summary of the findings that may assist educators in their online course development.

//Interactivity // No interactivity is required during this session. As desired, we could offer a tour of the game environment in Second Life.
