What We Learned About Cross-Campus
Collaborations
• Build teams thoughtfully with willing participants
• Schedule regular meetings; hold some in-person
meetings to get to know each other early on
• A project manager can ease burdens on team
members
• Recognize that each campus has its own
idiosyncrasies. Utilize each campus’s services and
strengths, including video production, library
resources, instructional design, and online learning
• Come to agreement within team about goals,
deadlines, responsibilities
• Develop common guidelines for projects while
encouraging flexibility and creativity
