Building Online Communities in Higher Education Institutions: Creating Collaborative Experience Members of today’s online educational settings are often isolated which can prohibit the sharing of ideas and best practices among individuals working and learning as a collective group. Promoting collaboration across various disciplines and departments fosters professional development activities, as well as creates strong connections to the entire online community.

Editors Carolyn N. Stevenson and Joanna C. Bauer (both of Kaplan University, USA) have compiled this publication with intent to advance the current scope of research in support of communication and collaboration in online settings by focusing on the ways all members of the educational institution can create community fostering personal and professional growth for all.

The editors note in the preface, "Throughout this book, we have focused on the challenges of communicating and collaborating in online settings and forwarded ways all members of higher educational institutions can create community and foster personal and professional growth for all. Our intention was to elicit diverse faculty and administrative experience, and with out authors writing abotu their experiences from all over the globe, this was achieved. The book will expand existing models of online communication to include use of technology including social networking tools and other forms of computer-mediated communication to create collaborative experiences for administrators, faculty, students, and other members of the educational community."
