In Collaborating across Universities and Industry to Offer Online Educational Opportunities for Social Responsibility, Marsha Dickson, University of Delaware, Suzanne Loker, Cornell University, and Molly Eckman, Colorado State University, USA, describe the development of an online series of courses, ‘Socially Responsible Apparel Production and Sourcing', for post-baccalaureate students and industry professionals, initially offered to students from the three universities. The types of courses created, their formats, the challenges of offering courses across universities, and how they are sustaining the courses beyond the funding period are discussed.
