This book examines what collaboration means in practice, and the factors
that enable effective team collaboration for learning and teaching in
higher education. It explains how academics can work more
collaboratively, and how universities can organise and govern themselves
by means of collaboration. The book brings together current research and
commentaries on collaboration in higher education to provide important
guidance derived from a synthesis and evaluation of the existing
empirical research and commentaries in the field.
The book will benefit all readers who are interested in making their own
teams and higher education organisations more collaborative. It will
help them plan collaborative innovations in their organisations,
identify priorities for professional capacity building, and design
collaborative organisational structures.
