Survey: Contribute to research on educational developers' engagement with identity!

[Salminen, Elina]

Dear colleagues,

We’re a group of educational developers who are members of the Grand Challenges #4 group for ISSOTL. You can learn more about Grand Challenges on ISSOTL’s website. 

Our research project seeks to understand how educational developers* engage with identity and difference in their work across diverse global and institutional contexts. Our goal is to describe a variety of perspectives—not to prescribe best practices. By gathering themes, both common and unique, we hope to contribute to a richer understanding of educational development around the world.

We would love it if you could take 10-15 minutes to fill out a survey and share your perspectives and experiences. We’re hoping to hear from as broad a range of people as possible so that our work can accurately describe the diversity and variation within our professional community. Fill out the survey on Qualtrics.

* “Educational developer” here means a person involved in teaching and learning beyond the scope of their own classroom. Examples might include providing consultations to colleagues on teaching; designing programming to help faculty evolve their teaching; (re)designing program-wide curriculum; working on institutional curricular initiatives; or publishing in the field of SoTL. We understand titles and units associated with this kind of work vary greatly. If you are receiving this via a listserv for organizations such as ISSOTL, EuroSOTL, LatinSoTL, or POD Network, chances are you are our target audience!

Yours,

Elina Salminen, Ketevan Kupatadze, Lakshmi Jayakrishnan, and Mayuko Nakamura
