Today's landscape for continuing education has evolved. Traditional roots in geographic boundaries made sense when we were all drawing on students who had to come to the local campus to learn, but this is not the case anymore. While most of us are offering online courses in one way or another, we need to rethink traditional models and streamline partnership opportunities to reduce the cost of online development, increase revenues, and fill classes. A joint learning hub for online courses is possible, and available. Come to this workshop to learn, discuss, and rethink collaborative online learning, and to discover what is already available and at your fingertips
