Model for the perception of the specific e-leadership skills and features in learning management systems environments

Abstract

This article proposes a model for understanding the specific skills and characteristics of e-leadership in Learning Management Systems (LMS), used for implementation of virtual teams. A framework was done, to identify skills and characteristics of the e-leaders, based on the review of literature about the e-leadership paradigm and its relationship with the virtual teams. It also presents the empirical model and an explanatory table with the methodology of research and the main approaches in the study. From the characterization of skills and characteristics of e-leadership, we built the representation code used for the Comprehension Skills Model. In the end we present the conclusions which offer a few guidelines for future work.
