Session Type:
Professional Development
Leading others toward a course of action is a complex process. Curricular change requires particularly nuanced leadership given the traditions of shared governance and faculty independence. Higher education leaders frequently come from academic fields in which there are clear expectations in the ways in which data, research literature, and systematic forms of study should be used. IT organizations are increasingly prompted to contribute data to and use analytics to support decision making in the context of teaching and learning. This session will prompt attendees to consider audience expectations as they are increasing called upon to provide, use and present data that relate to teaching and learning.
Objectives:
- Recognize that influencing decision-making begins with building and inspiring a shared vision.
- Discuss analytics as they relate to teaching and learning at an introductory level.
- Identify the roles that data, research literature, and systematic forms of study as they relate to audience expectations.
