Abstract
Collaboration between e-learning industries and university researchers continues to grow. This paper examines formats of academy-industry relationships, ultimately calling for an emphasis on design based research. Analyzing data from two instrumental case studies of university-industry relationships, we suggest that there are three overarching formats of e-learning partnerships: industry-initiated, university-initiated, and design-research based. Insight into such partnerships would inform the collaboration between e-learning industries and university researchers, as well as the integration and evaluation of e-learning products.
