Abstract: From recent research, it is evident that team coordination is one of least studied areas in this field, despite the increased need for supporting team coordination of joint tasks. The present paper highlights the importance of team coordination. The focus of this paper is on using the SNA (Social Network Analysis) to improve team coordination in web-based learning environments. It is suggested that several functions of SNA to measure team communication and to facilitate team coordination.
