Abstract

This article summarizes collaborative educational activities and joint educational program development between the Computer Science department and other departments at the same and other institutions. We hope that this article will aid Universities, Colleges and academia in achieving success in developing joint projects. The authors discuss the inter-institutional challenges of developing and deploying shared courses, and the benefits and challenges of new course development. Additionally, the paper describes the goals and results of three joint projects between Okanagan College (OC) and Vancouver Island University (VIU, formerly Malaspina University-College, BC, Canada), and presents information about the Nation-wide GIS Project in Lithuania, which was conducted by the VIU to develop national Spatial Data Infrastructure. Two of the four projects, mentioned above were developed for Okanagan College, while the third is the BC Campus Project: "Post Graduate Technical Diploma in GIS at the Malaspina University-College (lead), University of British Columbia (UBC), and Okanagan College" for the Vancouver Island University (VIU).
