Make sure that the ‘fun stuff’ doesn’t over-ride the need to provide a baseline of quality support to enable staff to support their own development and learning – it not only supports a culture of exploration but allows for resource to be directed where more hands-on / expertise knowledge is required, i.e. in the support of pedagogical practice and innovation.
If you’re wanting to increase engagement then you need to understand where you are now. It is hard to bridge a gap if you don’t know the size of the gap or the starting point from which you’re working. Discussions with faculty / surveys of staff / benchmarking and looking at local and sector-wide trends together with the strategic direction of the university as well as external influences provides essential context.
Through demos, staff development days, meetings with course / programme teams or committees, papers submitted to internal conferences / external conferences as appropriate
For example Learning Technologies blog – 400 educational institutions world-wide since March 2012
Find a voice for those who are innovative and help to draw out what can be scaled or sustained across the institution.
Sometimes people just resist. Or appear to resist without reason. But there is *always* a reason. In our role it is important to find a way to understand and to steer people through change which will be beneficial to the learning of their students and can provide them with efficiencies / a richer experience in their teaching practice Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40966760@N00/4179063482/, David Blackwell
