What IS online
collaboration?
Online Collaboration Software...
• connects people and teams with information they need to
get work done together.
• sometimes focuses more on “assets” -- like sharing
documents and storing files (think traditional course mgt
software for storing syllabi and course materials)
• sometimes focuses more on “communications” -- like
sharing discussions and ideas (think Yammer, or a
discussion board)
And to organize it...
But Also...
• the landscape for collaboration software is changing
rapidly.
• people like to declare things like “email is dead!” while
most of us are still using them (especially slower to change
organizations).
• collaboration can be a challenging, expensive, and large
problem to tackle, especially for a large and complex
organization.
and that makes things
particularly challenging for
higher education.
What We Hear from
Higher Ed
We Need collaboration! For stuff like...
• an admissions process with outside reviewers
• a research portal for publishing and finding research
• an intranet for faculty and staff
• course materials and communications
• intradepartmental communications
• connecting disparate campuses or campus organizations
but higher education is unique
when it comes to collaboration
solutions.
“

Collaboration is challenging in higher
education because there are so many
different types of projects.

“

I see a deep-rooted resistance to
change, maybe because we haven’t
always been focused on realizing
efficiency gains from technology.

“

Decision by committee usually means
outdated software.

“

Ledaership is moving toward a much
more business-minded approach to
course offerings. Lowered cost of
delivery, higher customer base, and less
revenue being derived from traditional
tuition.
Director of Non Degree Programs
Johns Hopkins University

”
In Summary...
• We collaborate in a LOT of different ways, and a lot of
different places, in higher ed.
• There’s a bit of a resistance to new solutions.
• The bigger the decision, the less likely we are to be on “the
cutting edge”
• But we have an interest in figuring out new ways to add
value - for students, faculty, and researchers.
How Open Source
Helps
Open Source Allows Higher Ed to...
• Create solutions for multiple needs, without running up
licensing costs.
• “Try Small Before you Buy Big.”
• Integrate with Plugins, instead of reinventing googledocs
or destroying someone’s “favorite tool.”
• Create the potential for new value
