This brief report summarizes a longer document with the same title. It reviews how college faculty are increasingly collaborating to do much of their work. It notes that the two principal forms of collaboration, teaching and research, are often distinctive arrangements depending on the field of study, institutional environment, and task requirements. However, controversy surrounds the use of collaboration efforts, mostly because of inequitable uses of power and influence by some team members, the loss of professional identity, and problems involving integrity. Listed are ways in which administrators can foster collaboration, such as in resource allocation; developing supportive policies rewarding collaborative efforts, both publicly and privately; and the removal of certain organizational barriers. Key steps in the collaborative process are typically: (1) choose colleagues or team members; (2) divide the labor; (3) establish work guidelines; and (4) terminate the collaboration. Finally, it is recommended that more qualitative and quantitative research be done in collaboration to help remove the myths about this process and enhance opportunities for a successful experience.
