Preparation
BLOG: Review “What do ongoing collaboratives look like” (Margerum 2011, 146-148). Choose one of the collaborative groups and explain two strategies for how you would help sustain the group. Exercise Handout: Instructor: This session works best when the students can hear about real-life situations of trying to create, build and sustain a collaborative entity. I recommend a guest speaker or panel of collaboratives to describe these challenges, but I have also designed an exercise that gets students to think about how you would convene a group. This can be used if there is no panel or guest speakers
