Our group met for an hour before class. This is going to be my large project. I want to put on a workshop utilizing ICT and creative process in the instructional methods. I’m curious to put my ideas about pedagogy, curriculum and ICT into practice and this seems like a perfect opportunity.

After the class on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, I realized I could do my own study on the workshop design and experience of the participants. In consultation with one of my project colleagues, I approached Gary Poole during the break after his presentation and proposed using a scholarly approach to this project. He suggested I sign up to the network of the Institute for Scholarship in Teaching and Learning, that there might be others interested in participating in the workshop. After class, I ran the idea by my group members and we have agreed to add this component into the project.

My work on the project is going to be developing, coordinating and designing the workshop. There is also going to be a handbook produced from this project, both hard copy and an online version.

I appreciate the opportunity to test my theories and practices in teaching through this project. I think it is a brilliant way for the university to foster new attitudes and approaches to teaching and learning.
