- Abstract
- Developing inter-institutional collaborative agreements for online education offers the potential benefit of increasing participants' access to resources and decreasing costs to institutions. Designing and sustaining models of cooperation to cross institutional boundaries is inherently complex and requires significant commitment. This paper explores the rationale for developing consortia and describes opportunities and challenges that arise in establishing and maintaining agreements to promote quality online education in library and information science (LIS) with peer institutions. Insights are shared based on 'lessons learned' in establishing the Web-based Information Science Education (WISE) consortium. Emphasis is placed on the three key elements of the WISE model of collaboration -- metrics for quality online education, faculty development in online pedagogy, and course share.
