Many of these documents were created either as part of one of the Knowledge Integration courses – INTEG 210: Making Collaboration Work (which is open to all 2A+ students at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ) and INTEG 410: Interdisciplinary Collaboration – or through UW’s Collaboration & Teamwork Community of Practice, co-led by Katie Plaisance and Scott Anderson.
