building services and developing relationships: from clients to collaborative partners
DESCRIPTION
This presentation will provide practical steps and best practices for flipping the traditional hierarchical client and consultant type relationship to a more dynamic collaborative partnership between faculty members and teaching and learning professionals. The IT division of the School of Government at UNC–Chapel Hill will share their experiences with developing this partnership so participants can begin building similar relationships with their own faculty. Attendees will have an opportunity to share their experiences and ask questions of each other and the presenters. Co-presentation with Georgia Allen at the EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional.TRANSCRIPT
