ABSTRACT

Academic developers play a key role in advancing instructor engagement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) at their higher education institutions, but face structural and epistemological isolation. To leverage the knowledge and experience of developers leading SoTL efforts at their respective institutions, a group of academic developers co-created a regional community of practice (CoP) centered on developing evidence-based strategic plans and programming models to advance SoTL at their. We describe the development and outcomes of this regional CoP. Future directions for the use of such a regional CoP model to collaboratively develop cross-institutional offerings are also discussed.

摘要

学术开发人员在促进教师参与其高等教育机构的教与学奖学金 (SoTL) 方面发挥着关键作用，但面临着结构和认识论上的孤立。为了利用在各自机构领导 SoTL 工作的开发人员的知识和经验，一群学术开发人员共同创建了一个区域实践社区 (CoP)，以开发基于证据的战略计划和编程模型为中心，以在他们的机构中​​推进 SoTL。我们描述了该地区 CoP 的发展和成果。还讨论了使用此类区域 CoP 模型协作开发跨机构产品的未来方向。
