Abstract
The University of Phoenix established a research hub with several different areas of focus. The Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research center (CEITR) has supported collaborative online research team opportunities for the past three years. The collaborative teams offer faculty members an opportunity to learn new skills and collaborate across time and space to achieve mutual goals. This workshop will share the stories of three online collaborative research laboratories. Team members in Teaching and Learning with the Arts (TLAR), Diversity in Learning and Ethics of Education) have successful publishing records and have gained expertise in collaborative research. The workshop will share some insights and strategies for success including how to develop research skills that support publications, how to build a research agenda that builds on and extends previous studies, and how to begin developing a presence in the research world both as individuals and for the institution as a whole. The workshop will start by sharing some background and context from the literature and then provide specific examples of how skills, agendas, and presence emerged during the collaborative online process. We will use a PowerPoint presentation to organize and present information and offer many interactive opportunities for audience members.

Comments
The proposed workshop was offered at an internal University of Phoenix event. A PPT developed for that event could be modified for the conference. The PPT was developed from the emerging case study, which is in data analysis stage now. I will include the PPT as an additional document.
