How do we teach students to do it? How do we model for students that collaboration is a process that they will increasingly be engaged in as organizations must increasingly think and act together to address issues that know no boundaries. How do we instill that being able to partner and think and act with others collaboratively will lend value to the organizations of which they will become future members? This case considers how large-scale service-learning projects that involve all members of a course in the same project, can serve to advance student understanding and experience of the process of collaboration and offer an opportunity for meta-talk that promotes learning about the underlying conditions and habits that need to exist to promote a collaborative environment.
