For more than 18 years, ETH has consistently been fostering Teaching and Learning (T&L) innovation through funding provided by Innovedum*. The funded projects have helped to transform teaching practices sustainably both in individual courses and curricula. But what else have we learned from it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find\nanswers the Innovation management group at LET has reflected on how this\ninnovation process has evolved. We evaluated 15 years of data and arrived at\ntwo key findings. The first is that community building activities (such as our\nlunchtime seminars and the Learning and Teaching Fair) have become the basis\nfor fostering T&L innovation at ETH. These activities bring together\nproject leaders, faculty members, educational developers and policymakers and\nprovide a platform for teaching staff to share information and insights gleaned\nfrom their projects. These events are driven by the concept of Scholarship of\nTeaching and Learning (SoTL) which aims for systematic reflections on how\nindividual teaching interventions and innovation projects improve student\nlearning. We will continue on this path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second\nfinding is that involving students in the innovation cycle has remained a major\nchallenge. Innovedum has experimented with different approaches (e.g. Student\nInnovedum), but the adoption of students\u2019 ideas within the university has\nproven to be difficult. So we have started a new project with the teaching\ncommission, an advisory body of the Executive Board, looking at ways that\nstudents can be better integrated in the process. First results are expected to\nbe implemented in the Innovedum project cycle in Spring 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a closer look, please check out the paper<\/a> which was presented at the EdMedia conference in Amsterdam in July 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you are an ETH faculty member, we invite you to the Refresh Teaching<\/a> series, one of the community building activities mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
