Large group collaboration is a strategic component of many research and development (R&D) efforts today. Typically, some groups may have 50 to 100 or more participating faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and industry members. Because these groups are geographically distributed with members who typically retain their primary affiliations to their home departments and institutions and not all members may have interacted with each other previously, it can be difficult to establish and maintain collaboration among members. This paper describes these efforts using large group video conferencing technology and best practices in particular.
