  2. Workshop Plan • Two brief presentations on innovating in higher education • Topic selection • Topic discussion • Plenary

  3. Competing forces

  4. Practice Leadership The Innovating Academic The Innovating Academic Academic Role Sharing IP

  5. A Scholarship of Practice Focused on attention rather than knowing • An engagement with ideas • Phronetic rather than epistemic? (Aristotle, Flyvbjerg) • A practice of inquiry • A productive process (Dewey, Cook and Brown) • A navigation of relations • Socially created action • Ephemeral • improvisation

  6. Implications for learning • With scholarship in universities spread over so many different disciplines, which reference so many, often conflicting values, premises and practices, how can we develop processes for engaging in ideas? • The nature of evidence is a hotly discussed aspect of inquiry; how can we build spaciousness for diversity and coherence in the creation of institutional action? • The constraints we’ve outlined act upon the innovating academic within ongoing, improvised, social relations. How can we creatively develop and innovate in amidst the immense complexity and disruption of today’s higher education?

  7. Topic selection (20 minutes) Using flip chart paper, in groups or singly, identify topics for discussion. Post these on the walls. We should have about 4 – 5 topics in total for the next part of the workshop. Form groups around the topics to move on to the next part of the workshop (similar topics can be merged).

  8. Topic discussion (30 minutes) Topic discussions should be facilitated by the originator(s) of the topic. You can discuss the topic in any way you wish. However, given the limited time, for the plenary session, choose one issue that provoked enthusiasm and one or two questions where your group found that consensus was not possible.

  9. Plenary (30 minutes) What provoked enthusiasm in your group? Where was it challenging to find consensus?
