At elearning-reviews, see this exploration of collaborative planning and development for online curricula.  

Here’s a brief summary of findings:

• Content was the primary focus at the course development website;
• There was more collaboration in the first phase of course development than later on;
• Time constraints were consistently a problem with regard to discussion of evaluation decisions;
• There was a fierce debate over consistent structure, suggesting that it is still controversial to what extent the project coordinator should exert a curricular role and whether some curricular decisions were sacrificed to technology or vice versa;
• The roles of faculty and the project coordinator were interwoven and interdependent.
