“Collaboration is important not just because it's a

better way to learn. The sprit of collaboration is

penetrating every institution and all of our lives. So

learning to collaborate is part of equipping yourself for

effectiveness, problem solving, innovation and life-long

learning in an ever changing networked society. ”
