Here’s are some more direct questions for faculty out there: what does “collaboration as a university faculty member” mean to you? And what collaborative parts of being a university faculty member do you find challenging when you are working for an online institution like Capella? What sorts of things do you wish you shared or did with your Capella colleagues, but don’t?  What’s just plain hard to do when you are working with each other from afar?

I’m looking for things like:

• Bouncing research off one another
• Sharing teaching strategies
• Discussing trends and happenings in your discipline
• Understanding university/school policies and practices
• Merely attending online meetings
• etc.

One of my team’s goals is to figure out ways to make the spatial and temporal circumstances that separate Capellians as insignificant as we can, through elegant, effective tools and processes. First, though, we need a really good understanding of what it is you want to be able to do. So please: tell us.
