Contribute to the Framework for Stakeholder Inclusion in the Technology Planning Process
The CoAction Learning Lab recently completed a full draft of its collaboratively-created resource: Framework for Stakeholder Inclusion in the Technology Planning Process. In the spirit of inclusion, we now invite higher education professionals and institutions from outside the Lab to build on this framework draft by sharing suggestions and exemplars (in suggestion mode) to inform the final version — using the web form below.
About the Framework
The Framework for Stakeholder Inclusion in the Technology Planning Process aims to help institutional leaders in cultivating inclusive educational technology selection and adoption processes by making stakeholders a core part of strategic planning. This resource illuminates key considerations of three stakeholder groups — students, learning facilitators, and technology leaders — and recommends ways to incorporate their perspectives and needs throughout your process.
Fill out the below form by April 14, 2019 to request an editable copy that anyone at your institution can access and review. Please keep in mind that the aim of this framework is to be broadly applicable within higher education, providing a foundation for context-specific work in a wide range of institutions. With this goal in mind, please refrain from suggesting revisions that are extremely specific to a single context. All individuals who review and make contributions to the framework will be attributed in the final version, which will be published to this website under a Creative Commons license that encourages broad sharing, adapting, and re-mixing.
CoAction Learning Lab: “Back to School” Recommended Reading
During their orientation, CoAction Learning Lab Community Partners shared readings or videos that represent the subject matter and perspectives collectively deemed important. Participants were specifically asked to submit resources relevant to envisioning the future of teaching and learning in higher education. Learning leaders, technology leaders, and students across the Community Partner institutions made their selections. The end result is a list of inspirational and informative readings/videos, organized by theme, for higher education innovators — particularly as a new school year begins for many.
