I agree that no leadership is ideal. Any thoughts on what conditions would make it possible for people to work collaboratively without any organized leadership?

Hi Janet,
I love gardening but I must confess that my garden does not look as good as it did 10 years ago. It's hard to balance online and offline life. Online collaboration seems to take a lot more time than offline.

Paddy,
You are so right about the importance of having clear understanding of the meaning of collaboration from the outset. However, I feel stifled when one person leads. I prefer group leadership where collaborators share the leadership role.

How do others feel about leadership roles in collaborative projects?

Hi Chris,
You mention balance and age groups. Do you think one person's balance may be another's dis-balance?

Hi,

Great to read everyone's posts. I have been both a lurker, an active participant, and facilitator at SCoPE. I am currently waiting for my research to be approved, so I can start collecting data on instructor use of blended learning in higher education. I am an active member of WikiEducator adding content, and developing/facilitating online workshops. I love the collaborative nature of the community.

I am looking forward to learning with you.

Warm wishes,
Nellie Deutsch
