FACILITATING A SPACE FOR A DIVERSE GROUP OF ACADEMIC PRACTITIONERS TO INNOVATEKay Salehi and Llewellyn Mann |

This paper reports on a year long effort to create and facilitate a creative space for a diverse group of business academics to develop educational innovations involving new technologies. The expected outcomes were to enhance student engagement, reduce teaching time, and to develop scholarly practices around teaching and learning. The Academic Development Advisor's (ADA, first author) role was to facilitate the group of academics from different disciplines, who had a range of research experience, career aspirations and approaches. The research question is: "How might an Academic Development Advisor effectively facilitate a space for a diverse group of academic practitioners to innovate?" This paper will present the background, process, lessons learned, future plans, and advice for others on how to create a similar space for innovation. |
