Questions to Ponder

Hosted by MJ Bishop, Director, Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation, University System of Maryland

The CAIT Story Began in Maryland …

Initial motivation:

1. Share, leverage, and scale-up the outcomes of our seed grant programs to foster academic innovation.

2. Map all seed grant programs across the nation to “move the dial” on large-scale innovation.

QUESTION:What role do internal seed grants play in driving innovation at your institution?

Meetings and Outcomes

A collaborative partnership of higher

education research and development

centers, that explores and advances efforts

to transform teaching and learning in the

academy.

CAIT Mission and Purpose

1. Generate and share strategies that create a culture of innovation and change, and drive academic institutional transformation.

2. Leverage inter-institutional collaboration, research, and development in order to increase the effectiveness and impact of each institutional partner.

3. Assist and develop faculty to serve as agents of academic transformation and student success.

4. Identify and quantify the “evidence of impact” of innovation and transformation on the student experience.

5. Serve as a model for the kinds of collaborations that can emerge from an academic change leadership network (like LAC/LAT).

Constructing the MatrixUsing what exists and seeking alignment

Step 1: Defining Keyword Framework

Step 2: Refined Keyword Framework

Step 3: Identifying HE Themes

Step 4: Agree on Common Language

Penn State: began aligning existing grant projects with Matrix--stalled

Shippensburg: used Matrix to:a) reconstruct call for grant proposals,

b) guide design of faculty development workshops & faculty peer learning communities

UMass Boston: applying the Matrix to UMass central system seed grant programs

SUNY: Updated Website to Implement and test the

CAIT Matrix…

QUESTION:Would the CAIT matrix be useful to your institution?





Matrix has been reviewed and modified with input from CAIT partner institutions.

Matrix has been implemented in different scenarios.

Future of CAIT as a collective is being reviewed.
