Does Collaboration Work Well?Does Collaboration Work Well?• Yes, but there does seem to be occasional "territorial" issues.
• Systems & faculty support have different values & priorities
• Ed Tech person attends central IT meetings, we have had various issues that required collaboration and some worked better than others. Generally a good relationship.
• The person works in the IT department.
• It is a struggle but we do fairly well now.
• Depends on the person and circumstance ... I don't have a yes / no response.
• Generally it only involves classroom network issues and streaming live video.
• We would collaborate, if IT would give us the time of day. Lol
