I've never had any problems with group projects via distance learning. I've been the leader of such projects, and been in the position of a non-leader. I've found being organize with individual roles established, and a date to have everything completed has always put me in a position to succeed in all the group assignments I have been apart of.
However, I do think that with distance learning many people prefer to work alone, as they become antisocial in online spaces. As a group leader, I also noticed how people get things done, as online learners are generally diverse in when they can complete task. Theres the student who can complete the work only on the weekend, as they spend Saturday and Sunday doing school work. Then theirs the student who does and submits school work at 3 or 4 in the morning. Then their is the student who usually submits their work during the day; during normal school hours.
I always found being able to work and understand that online learners come from diverse backgrounds; always have lead me to succeed in online group projects.
