Abstract

Other Education scholarly collaboration
This chapter reports on a global collaboration: a case study where the focus is the writing of a scholarly article between authors from Australia, England, and South Africa. The challenges of different time zones, academic calendars, and managing the collaboration are outlined in this chapter. Findings from the case study suggest that the key elements of success are related to the individuals and project management techniques and not the technology per se. Constructivist learning theory as well as the e-Moderation model are supported by this work and thus extend their application to the academic writing process.
