PRINCIPLES

This approach to Learning Innovation reflects the following principles;

  • Learning Innovation is driven by pedagogy rather than technology
  • Innovation is defined as “adding new value”. It doesn’t have to be complex or expensive. Even a small change is innovative if it adds new value to an existing process.
  • Innovative pedagogy is a practice that incorporates incremental changes to the everyday teaching that incorporate technology as fit for purpose.
  • Imposing no prescriptive or a one-size-fits all approach to how learning and teaching is taught in the University, but more to consider the aims of this transformative approach as multi-faceted in the ongoing and evolving context of liberal arts education.
  • The goal of innovative learning is to foster real transformation of learning and teaching leading to the enhancement of the students’ learning experience incorporating technology as fit for purpose.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this Learning Innovation framework are to;

  • Empower both teachers and students to make informed decisions that affect and help their continued practice and approaches to learning and teaching with technology
  • Assist teachers and students to find new ways to look at what is currently happening, so they can plan and develop for the future, to align with industry and 21st Century skills
  • Develop more opportunities for cultivating the creative process that allows for learning through inquiry; experiences and more importantly, flexibility for growth and innovative pedagogy using technology
