While this might seem like a system worlds away from higher education, this is very much a common system embraced by colleges and universities.

Covering topics such as collaboration with full-time colleagues, curating resources for online courses, and maintaining working relationships, this book is ideal for adjunct faculty, administrators, students, researchers, and academicians.
