academic collaboration (OCAC) among students at a large Singapore university. Two
types of OCAC were investigated: collaboration initiated by students, e.g., groups
decide on their own to meet to prepare for exams, and collaboration required by
teachers, e.g., teachers assign students to do projects in groups. Data were collected via
one-on-one interviews with 18 faculty members from four faculties at the university.
Findings suggest that OCAC, especially of a teacher-required kind, is fairly common at
the university. Faculty members? views on factors affecting the success of OCAC are
discussed for the light they might shed on practices to enhance the effectiveness of
OCAC.
