摘要：The primary purpose of the study was to investigate team-based e-Learning content development projects from
the perspective of the shared mental model (SMM) theory. The researcher conducted a study of 79 e-Learning
content development teams in Korea to examine the relationship between taskwork and teamwork SMMs and
the performance of the teams. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the parameter
estimations. As hypothesized, the results indicated that interaction among e-Learning ID team members led to
higher SMMs (Ed- this acronym has already been defined above) which in turn improved the team performance.
Meanwhile, the interaction decreased with the progression of ID projects and with the role differentiation. The
implications of the findings and directions for instructional design (ID) practices are discussed.
