Some very different approaches in applying technology enhanced learning at the faculty level

I think the Communities of Practice idea is important, and may be possible here (at a certain level, e.g. our network of librarians).

* A repeated theme from PebbleBash was that students should be doing their own feedback and assessment. This addresses many common issues: student don't appreciate the feedback they get (low SPOT scores re feedback); educators are told by 'management' to do more feedback (unsustainable) and educate students about the feedback they are getting (obviously not meeting students' needs if it has to be explained) * Educators should be fostering "self-regulation"; educators always giving feedback tends to "foster dependency and place responsibility too far in the direction of teachers" * "Of special importance is the practice of students in making judgements about their own work and that of others" * May help with our staff being less dependent? Finding their own information? BUT "dependent on a learning environment that fosters continual improvement and creates opportunities for knowledge seeking and application"

Here's the follow-up research - Does student engagement in self-assessment calibrate their judgement over time? (http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02602938.2013.769198)
