Our goal in this session is to help participants develop specific approaches to identifying and solving challenges that are likely to arise during the course of their ETD (Electronic Theses and Dissertations) project. We will first collaborate with the group to identify issues of interest, and then facilitate sharing of experiences and approaches. Interested participants will be able to develop and get group feedback on specific proposals that they plan to implement at their home institutions.

For four years the IONiC project has explored how to help faculty share effective teaching practices. The process has been a learning curve for all of us as we have worked to bridge divisions of culture and perspective, developing a close collaboration across large distances. This session will present the project and share some of the highlights of what we have learned along the way.
