Lessons Learned from Collaboration
  • Put students first
  • Collaboration is time consuming
  • It requires upfront planning
  • The process makes the end product stronger and
    creates ownership
  • Project Directors are key

25
More Lessons
  • Who else comes to the table matters
  • Online services are for everyone (not
    just distance students)
  • Incentives help
  • Coordination is essential and the coordinating
    skills are important
  • Outside evaluation is helpful

26
The Future
  • Current budgetary issues in Higher Ed are
    demanding collaboration
  • Need to continue to lessen costs of services and
    instruction while maintaining or increasing
    quality and availability
  • Outsourcing of services
