This course enables participants to further investigate the pedagogy covered in the other Graduate Certificate courses by exploring an innovation that relates to their teaching context. The topic may relate to a trend, issue, policy or teaching/learning practice. Participants will review the literature in their discipline and within education more generally that relates to the chosen focus. They will share their findings, challenges and concept of “innovation” in regular workshops throughout the semester. Several examples of innovation in higher education will also be explored and participants will be encouraged to work closely with a practitioner who is able to share their expertise on the topic and/or underlying pedagogy. Assessment will be based on the completion of tasks for each of the workshops and a final assignment that reflects on the impact of the investigation in terms of the possibility for innovation. Where the period of one semester may not be sufficient time in which to implement the innovation, the course encourages an important first step through the establishment of a strong pedagogical foundation. For those who have already collected data or would like to investigate changes that they have already implemented, this course will provide the framework for further development.
