2. Session 10. Transforming Course Design by Exchanging Knowledge in our Communities of Teaching Practice Outcome: Project teams will be able to  Identify opportunities and issues for Transforming Course Design In Knowledge-based, Community-enhancing ways  Commence work on the Knowledge-based section of Task 2, i.e., what shared knowledge and resources would make a significant impact on your plans. Outline:  Sharing Resources  Sharing Expertise  Scholarship of Teaching and Learning  Linking Expertise & Resources (work in progress)  also see Teaching Research-based Innovation By Example

3. Sharing Resources Discipline Repositories of Learning Resources Compadre (Physics) CAUSE (Statistics) Institutional Repositories Open Courseware (e.g., MIT)MIT Open Learning Initiative OpenLearn Regional Repositories MERLOT other CSU initiatives other multi-discipline sites

4. Sharing Resources Discipline Repositories of Learning Resources Institutional Repositories Regional Repositories MERLOT CSU Institutional Teaching Commons other CSU initiatives ALEKS ICT Literacy Digital Marketplace other multi-discipline sites Connexions generic capabilities

5. Sharing Knowledge Discipline Journals History Teacher, Teaching History, Journal of American History Chemical Educator, Journal of Chemistry Education, Education in Chemistry Physics Education, Physics Teacher Journal of College Science Teaching,… Teaching Mathematics and its Applications, Mathematics Teacher, PRIMUS Issues in Accounting Education, Journal of Business Education… Research Strategies (Library Science) Discipline Portals Teach the Earth Higher Education Academy (U.K.)Higher Education Academy Google Scholar! …

6. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning extensive support from Carnegie FoundationCarnegie Foundation some CSU institutions involved (SDSU, SJSU, CSULB) growing movement, e.g., International SocietyInternational Society acceptance of appropriate models by NSF etc. Design Experiments acceptance in disciplines varies e.g., AAMC Council of Academic Societies discipline-specific models of scholarship acceptance in CSU institutional policy varies! key component for success of Transforming Course Design (IMHO) Academic Senates? Presidents & Provosts? Chairs & Deans?

7. Faculty teaching practices Exemplary learning resources Experience reports from teachers “Best evidence” guides to teaching Research on teaching “in context”: topic, challenge, etc. Research on learning and teaching Teacher-to- teacher narratives/ case stories Linking Expertise to Resources (work in progress) Learning design principles [outcomes, methods, context]

8. Work Time on Task 2: How can community knowledge be transformative in your course design? What opportunities exist for you to exchange/re-use/adapt resources? What opportunities exist to use scholarly knowledge in your TCD efforts? What opportunities exist to create knowledge in your TCD efforts? What challenges will affect your use of discipline knowledge about teaching?
