Cartographers of a Collaborative World

Audra Buck-Coleman, Assistant Professor, University of Maryland, College Park

The rewards are many from collaborative projects, but negotiating the often-rocky terrain and uncharted waters of a cooperative curriculum can be difficult.

What are the benefits from collaborating cross-university, cross-country and globally? What are the challenges of these kinds of projects? Where do you begin? What can design students from different regions offer each other? This presentation will include lessons learned from a multi-university project as well as grounded advice for those considering their own collaborations.
