As the scope of online life and work expands it is ever more important to consider the quality of electronically mediated collaborations. The workshop leader will present some grounding context and ideas for the first half, followed by small and large group dialog to collectively brainstorm principles and examples about what works (and doesn't work) in establishing high quality online collaboration. Topics:

- How can proven methods used to organize and facilitate face-to-face dialogs, meetings, brainstorming, conflict resolution, decision making, etc., be modified for use online?

- How can online collaboration help groups embed their core values and ethics into their communication infrastructure?

- How can online collaboration tools support key social capacities for reflection, multi-perspective-taking, transparency, mutual understanding, and communicating with integrity?

- What is required of group members and leaders to insure high quality online communication and collaboration? How can these requirements be supported when they are lacking?
