The authors collaborated to address an institutional need for a high-quality, high-enrollment online introductory psychology course. The course needed to be teachable by different types of potential instructors, including permanent, full-time faculty and temporary, part-time faculty, with a minimum of preparation time needed to set up the course. Although a successful web course had been developed in the past, it was tied to one specific instructor; this fact, plus the low capacity designed into the course, made it cost-prohibitive to offer on a regular basis. Prior efforts to create a course content template teachable by temporary faculty had run into faculty resistance around ownership of the course and quality concerns. This collaboration emphasized the strengths of each contributor, resulting in a final product equal or superior in effectiveness to the face-to-face version of the course
