Abstract

Any type of research, especially in education, is enhanced by the inclusion of multiple researchers as well as multiple institutions to allow for a greater generalization of obtained results. However, it can be very hard to know how to complete, let alone start, a successful collaboration. Examples of successful cross-institutional research, as well as an assessment of the benefits and drawbacks of conducting such studies are discussed.
