Collaboration

Collaboration is an individual’s capacity to work with others in a process that requires interdependence to solve a problem, achieve a goal, or complete a task. Most modern work environments involve some form of collaboration or connected problem-solving between individuals. Effective collaborators must take responsibility for their participation in the process of achieving a shared goal and require them to demonstrate social interdependence, communication, negotiation, reflection, and task management skills.

OUTCOME

Students will demonstrate the ability to actively contribute to collaborative experiences by planning and making group decisions, contributing resources and ideas, and monitoring and adapting individual and group processes to benefit the group.
