Change strategy | QLAB activities and context | Indicators to assess |
---|---|---|
Diffusion | Building on demonstrated effectiveness of disciplinary online modules, develop multidisciplinary modules and encourage adoption Year 1: Faculty at anchor institutions participate in module development—led by project leaders Year 2: Faculty at all LACOL institutions participate in module development—led by selected faculty leaders | # of faculty participating in module development and awareness events (disciplinary field, institution, etc.) # of faculty using modules without FLC participation and whether use is sustained Post-use faculty reflection survey to gather perceptions and characterize adoption |
Implementation | Activities designed to train and support faculty in thinking about how to use modules in their courses and adapt modules to home department or institution Year 1: Project leaders at anchor institutions lead the activities Year 2: Selected faculty leaders across LACOL lead efforts at their home institutions | Roadcheck surveys from project leaders and faculty leaders; Interviews with project leaders and participating faculty in years 1 and 3 to assess perceptions of effectiveness of activities in shaping modules and influencing practices |
Scholarly teaching | Encourage all faculty participants to reflect, collect data related to their teaching and approaches to student QS support | Post-course faculty reflection survey items related to faculty observations about support for students, framing of modules in their courses, and satisfaction |
Faculty learning communities (FLC) | Bring faculty together to scaffold learning and support each other in developing student QS and using the modules Year 1: FLCs at anchor institutions Year 2: Cross-institutional FLCs | # of faculty with FLC participation using modules and whether use is sustained Roadcheck surveys from FLC Post-course faculty reflection survey items related to perceptions of how FLC contributed to their practices |
Learning organizations | Develop shared vision for modules and explore adaptation and adoption based on local situation Year 1: Round-robin conversations at anchor institutions Year 3: Funds to LACOL institutions for supporting efforts to expand local adoption | # of faculty involved at each implementation site (disciplinary field, type of courses, etc.); Faculty implementation site survey and faculty interviews to compare approaches and outcomes used at each site with attention to organizational contexts |
