This handout outlines how a Collaborative Workspace can support a community of learners in a Learning Collaborative (LC). Key features include:
-
Calendar and Project Announcements: A one-way tool for sharing reminders, important dates, team achievements, and external events.
-
Online Discussions: Forums for participants and leaders to ask questions, brainstorm, share ideas and successes, and address challenges; may include group-specific spaces.
-
Resource Sharing: A space for posting and downloading useful tools, documents, and materials, organized by LC themes or frameworks.
-
PDSA/Improvement Posting: A library for sharing tested improvements and lessons learned to foster transparency and collaboration.
-
Metrics Reporting: A centralized place to enter and review monthly data, promoting consistency, accountability, and visibility across teams.
-
Activities and Assignments: Enables sharing, feedback, and continuity of learning between sessions by posting assignments and reflections.
The workspace supports engagement, resource sharing, and accountability, though functionality may vary based on platform capabilities.
