The study explores multi-institutional collaboration in terms of the types of information technology (IT) collaborations in higher education and the practices associated with positive outcomes. It is based on a literature review to identify issues and develop research questions; a screening survey of 586 colleges and universities to distinguish collaborators from non-collaborators; a follow-up survey tailored for 157 institutions presently engaged in at least one form of collaboration and a separate follow-up survey tailored for 113 institutions that have elected not to participate in IT collaborations; qualitative interviews with IT leaders from 30 institutions including both collaborators and non-collaborators; consultation with a select group of chief information officers who are extensively engaged in collaboration; and two in-depth case studies that look at how collaborators form, manage, and sustain their ventures.</p> http://connect.educause.edu/display/44576#comments Collaboration Documents Contributed by ECAR IT Funding IT Governance Open Source Partnerships Resource Sharing Virtual Community Key Findings Articles, Papers, and Reports Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:09:11 -0500 ckeller 44576 at http://connect.educause.edu
