  1. Embedding innovation into teaching and learning practices Operational contexts for embedding outcomes from national projects in HE institutions

  2. Plan for the day • Introductions • Brainstorming on embedding • Project context • LUNCH 13-00 • Institutional context • Break • Consultation paper

  3. About us & the project • Project: • funded by the LTSN GC • based at University of Warwick • Team: • Jay Dempster, Peter Jackson, CAP, Warwick • Frances Deepwell, CHED, Coventry University • Review of generic ICT-related national projects: • 6 TLTP3, 1 FDTL3, 3 SCOTCIT • Success factors in embedding new practices: • activities, organisation, networks, links, impact, support • Knowledge to inform and assist others: projects, institutions, programmes, partners, funding bodies • Innovation  embedding = TRANSFERABILITY

  4. Transferability 1. LTSN funding: PROJECTS • Review successful embedding • Analyse experiences, factors, approaches • Consult with stakeholders: funding bodies, support organisations, institutional academic developers • Offer a framework of approaches for embedding innovation from development 2. TLTP3 transferability funding: INSTITUTIONS • Review of structures and processes in 7 universities • Analysis against current strategies & objectives • Share and discuss case studies arising • Plan of action for building capacity for: • responding to innovation • evaluating own structures and practices • embedding effective new learning and teaching

  5. Purpose of the consultation • Explore national and programme issues • in the light of the review and analysis of a selection of national projects • Consider what is helpful • for both projects and institutions with respect to national support and programme management • Extract a set of good practices • with national bodies to inform future funding programmes, project and institutional support • Determine issues and recommendations • to form a consultation paper for funding councils and other stakeholders.

  6. About you and your role people projects support funding ILT SHEFC HEFCE NCT X4L TLTP JISC LTSN ALT FDTL SCOTCIT TLT-Officers HE institutions SEDA

  7. Brainstorm • In your professional experience, what is the best example of successful embedding that you have come across? • How do you account for its success? • In other words, what do you feel were the main reason in your example that the idea became embedded and resulted in a change in practice?

  8. Project context successes in embedding innovation fromnational projects

  9. Group activity: Supporting projects to embed • DIVIDE INTO GROUPS A & B • What frameworks for national funding and support do you feel work well to assist projects? • What in your experiences should be improved? • What in your view ought to change? (maybe radically!)

  10. Institutional context for embedding innovation fromnational projects

  11. Generic national projects • Projects develop within specific context but outcomes focus on wider applicability • Wide variation between consortium institutions of structures and working practices • Cross disciplinary differences • Educational ‘ideas’ rather than technology ‘products’ • Institutional ICT infrastructure difficulties • Teaching development incentives • Emergent ILT & evolving CTI-LTSN support network • Complexities of the operational contexts for embedding innovation from projects at institutional level

  12. How institutions might use findings Institutional partners agreed to make use of the evaluation framework to: • evaluate of own structures & practices • explore solutions towards appropriate implementation plans for own strategic objectives • share and discuss approaches with other institutions

  13. Institutional review • Avoid “surveying” • Focus on strategies, perceptions and experiences with regard to structure and working practices • Consider the processes of innovation and embedding within the institutional strategic objectives and processes • In the light of: • own experiences • project review • national perspectives

  14. Organisation & Direction Response to Innovation Institutional Thinking Support for Embedding Operational context Strategies Objectives Structures Engagement Involvement Collaboration Evaluation Transfer Planning Staff development Support models Recognition & reward

  15. Institutional case studies • Present current institutional organisational direction, structures, processes and responses to educational innovation (in ICT) • Identifyfactors the institution believes impact the greatest on the process of embedding of L&T innovation (in ICT) • Devise plan to develop own practices and enhance support in this area

  16. Emerging institutional factors • Senior level support • Staffing: resources, retention of expertise • Engaging departments/schools • Motivating lecturers: support, promotion • Time & timing • Decision making structures • Forums for debate • ICT infrastructure & technical support

  17. Group activity: Supporting institutions to embed • DIVIDE INTO GROUPS A & B • What frameworks for national funding and support do you feel work well to assist institutions? • What in your experiences should be improved? • What in your view ought to change? (maybe radically!)

  18. Take abreak !

  19. Summary of feedback from national funding bodies and support providers

  20. How national bodies might use review National bodies can make use of the review: • To evaluate own structures & practices and inform future funding programmes and support provision • To advise & guide projects and institutions on effective institutional structures and practices to support educational innovation from projects • To share and discuss approaches with other stakeholders through a consultation paper

  21. Consultation paper • What do you believe constitutes successful embedding of project innovation in institutional practice? • What areas are seen to work well in supporting projects and in supporting institutions? • Where is there shared understanding between funding programmes and support bodies about areas for improvement and/or change? • Where is further debate/clarification/study needed for areas where opinion differs? • Advise whether wider/deeper evaluation of project experiences is required/desired • State whether the approach taken by the project is a valuable evaluation framework for future programmes.
