Tech & Learning offers an interesting article, "Creating a Culture of Collaboration through Technology," proposing collaboration between instructors and technology facilitators to create courses relevant in this digital age. According to the article:

This collaborative partnership is a powerful tool to increase student learning by combining the expertise of multiple educators.
