What Is it?
...a situation in which two or more institutions learn or attempt to learn something together. Unlike individual learning, people engaged in collaborative learning capitalize on one another’s resources and skills (asking one another for information, evaluating one another’s ideas, etc.). More specifically, collaborative learning is based on the model that knowledge can be created within a population where members actively interact by sharing experiences and take on asymmetry roles.
How does it work?
The collaborative is facilitated by a Collaboration Steering Team. The team consists of 4 appointed members of the ESU community and 4 appointed members of the LVH-P community for a total of 8 members, including a facilitator and a facilitator-elect. The steering team serves as the clearing house for new ideas and as generator of new ideas and activities. As any member of each community identify potential collaborative activities, they are suggested to the steering group who channel it to appropriate collaborating units at the respective institutions. The steering group can also use the institutions’ strategic plan to generate ideas for future development.
