  1. Sustaining and embedding innovations to achieve institutional enhancement in learning and teaching. • Peter Bullen & Peter Chatterton – Critical Friends • Rebecca Galley (Open University – OULDI Project) • Maria Papaefthimiou (University of Reading – OULDI Project) • Mark Russell (University of Hertfordshire – ESCAPE Project) • Paul Bartholomew (Birmingham City University - T-SPARC project) • Marion Manton (University of Oxford – CASCADE project) • Catherine O’Donnell (University of Ulster – Viewpoints project) • An output from the JISC Transforming Curriculum Delivery through Technology programme • andInstitutional Approaches to Curriculum Design programme.

  2. Workshop Format • Introduction: Sustaining and Embedding Innovations: A Good Practice Guide (http://sustainembed.pbworks.com) • Subgroups: • Plenary: Feedback on “enablers” and “barriers” for achieving institutional enhancement • Rebecca Galley (OU - OULDI) • Maria Papaefthimiou (Reading - OULDI) • Paul Bartholomew (Birmingham City - T-SPARC ) 1 • Mark Russell (Hertfordshire – ESCAPE) • Catherine O’Donnell (Ulster – Viewpoints) • Marion Manton (Oxford – CASCADE ) 2

  3. Sustaining and Embedding Innovations: A Good Practice Guide • Initially developed as an output from JISC programmes: • Transforming Curriculum Delivery through Technology • Institutional Approaches to Curriculum Design • Aims to support innovation projects in: • ensuring benefits/outputs can be sustained beyond the life of the project • embedding benefits/outputs into institutional and/or sector practice • contributing towards institutional enhancement http://sustainembed.pbworks.com

  4. Rationale for the Guide Rational for the Guide • A changing economic and funding climate • A need to better balance: • institutions experiencing innovation projects • learning from others • making better use of sector resources • Increasing focus at all levels on: • return on investment • institutional enhancement • cost/benefits • collaboration/sharing

  5. PROJECT/PILOT INSTITUTION SECTOR(S) Embedding Cascading • Resistance to innovation • Lack of appreciation of future educational scenarios • Innovators don’t make good “embedders” • Structures, processes & resources for embedding • Mind-sets: innovation projects have an end-date! • Lack of project sustaining/embedding plan • “Not invented here” • Insufficient “motivators” & resources • Increasing competition Barriers Enablers • Changing people & culture • Simple change approaches e.g. student mentors • Visioning and scenario planning • Communications & stakeholder engagement • Institutional change management techniques • Internal communities of practice • Influencing organisational change • Continuous improvement approaches • Change agents and champions • Partnership working • Embedding or aligning innovations • Aligning with institutional goals, drivers and needs • Embedding in strategies • Embedding in processes and systems • Focusing on impact and returns on investment • Creating useable tools and resources • Open approaches to sustainability • OERs • Open source software • Open standards • Communities • SIGs (Special Interest Groups) - sector driven and practitioner “owned” • Communities of practice • Open development communities • Subject centres • Capacity-building/benefits realisation • Collaboration consortia (OLTF) • Shared services • Commercial/entrepreneurial approaches

  6. Towards institutional enhancement Planning Continuous Improvement for Institutional Enhancement Reflection, review (& benchmarking) Innovation project(s) Impact evaluation

  7. Feedback & discussion forum http://sustainembed.pbworks.com http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloudscape/view/2137

  8. Sub-group format • Brief Introductions to the projects 1 • Discussions on “enablers” and “barriers” • for sustainability, embedding and institutional enhancement 2 (40 minutes)

  9. Sub-group Projects 1 2 OU/Reading – OULDI Our aim is to develop and implement a methodology for learning design composed of tools, practice and other innovation that both builds upon, and contributes to, existing academic and practitioner research. Herts – ESCAPE The ESCAPE project will respond to Institutional and National concerns regarding assessment and feedback. Ulster – Viewpoints Viewpoints is working on a suite of reflective tools for university staff, underpinned by cutting-edge educational theories, to help inspire innovative curriculum design. Birmingham City – T-SPARC Technology-Supported Processes for Agile and Responsive Curricula. Oxford - CASCADE The Cascade project aims to use technology to enable the Department for Continuing Education to respond better to the challenges created by the government’s ELQ policy. http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/5514

  10. Plenary Feedback on enablers and barriers for achieving institutional enhancement
