We would like to shift our scope so it is not exclusively digital and more intently strategic and problem-solving oriented. Our discussions and initiatives trend more broadly toward pedagogical and programmatic problems and potential solutions. Technology would remain a theme, but not an exclusive focus. Vis-à-vis, a design thinking committee prototyping positive change and disruptive innovations in service to the SEHD.
- Themes / Big Questions
- How might we transcend bureaucratic barriers and systemic status quo? Identify specific problems, and prototype solutions.
- How might we positively affect and build digital community and engagement? How might we counter the Zoom affect?
- How might we spur innovation and creativity without further taxing people’s time and attention?
- How might we shape SEHD strategic planning with a focus on (a) enrollment growth, (b) digital affordances, and (c) new populations / modalities / models / strategies.
- Commitments
- Let’s continue the SEHD ethnography centered on digital effective practices. This will continue to inform our other works as well as SEHD strategic planning.
- Let’s define specific and measurable strategies that align with SEHD local-needs as well as the CU strategic plan.
- Let’s continue community building and peer-professional-development relative to digital education, innovation, and impactful pedagogy.
- Learning Community
- Let’s continue to retain time in faculty meetings for facilitated discussion and activities.
- Let’s explore the realistic use of media to document and promote effective practices.
- Some kind of TEDx spotlight ?
- A blog/newsletter repository of invitations, provocations, and innovations ?
- A student from the Learning Agency to assist ?
