 * Collaboration, Organization, and Facilitation: Working Together to Ensure Quality**

There are multiple benefits associated with working together in a collaborative manner in the world of higher education. In addition, there are a variety of areas faculty members, staff, and administration can focus on as they collaborate and strive to create the best end product including: maintaining open and effective channels of communication, remaining receptive to giving and receiving constructive feedback, and using the collaborative process to increase a healthy work-life balance for everyone involved. Finally, collaborative work can bring online educators closer together as it helps create a cohesive, group environment in an otherwise remote workplace.
