"Collaborative Facilities is a project designed to collect, organize, and disseminate information about model "collaborative facilities" on college and university campuses. The project is sponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) and hosted by Dartmouth College in an effort to assist institutions in planning, implementing, and evaluating these facilities. This web site allows information professionals, administrators, faculty, and other interested visitors to "tour" collaborative facilities online and to analyze documents related to their planning, design, administration, staffing, services, and funding. The site also provides contact information for each participating institution in order to encourage the development of an interactive community devoted to collaborative facilities."

"Its innovation is well illustrated by the incorporation of technologies and media, such as Youtube, Skype, Moodle and Wiki blogging, into the heart of the academic experience. Of course, its intercontinental scope, having been co-developed and team taught by faculty and for students at Swarthmore and Ashesi University in Ghana, also makes for a groundbreaking academic experience."
