Evidencing impact of academic development
Friday 22nd March, 2019
TU Dublin – City Campus – Aungier Street
Academic developers in Ireland and internationally are increasingly being called upon to demonstrate the impact of their work on their institutions, on academic practice, and most importantly, on students’ learning. Following on from the first workshop in this series, in which participants discussed the issue and shared ideas of what constitutes impact, this second workshop focuses on how to evidence impact effectively. EDIN invites academic developers to work together to create a resource to support/guide academic developers in the creation, demonstration and reporting of the impact of their academic development work. By the end of this workshop it is hoped that a resource to define the process and give credibility to approaches to evidencing impact will be mapped out and planned.
The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Marita Grimwood, SFHEA FSEDA, Learning and Teaching Consultant, UK.
In advance of the workshop, participants are asked to complete this brief three-question survey:

To get the most from this initiative, participants need to be present for the duration of the full session. Please bring your laptop, tablet or preferred media to write with on the day. This will be a practical session, involving activities, discussion and planning to produce individual outcomes for participants as well as strategies for EDIN to support its members in demonstrating the impact of their work.
