Collaborative Working in Higher Education

Collaborative working is increasingly becoming a key feature of academic life in Higher Education. Traditionally, university culture supported individual research and scholarship. Today, the academic role has shifted from a focus on the individual to a focus on the group or team. Collaborative Working in Higher Education takes the reader on a journey of examination, discussion, reflection and suggestions for developing practice via a broad overview of the key aspects of collaboration and collaborative working, informed by focused case studies and an international perspective provided by contributing authors.
