Session Description:
What do current research and scholarship tell us about trends, theories and evidence-based best practices that can help learning specialists disrupt, adapt, and innovate in the ever-changing world of post-secondary education? How can we apply research and scholarship from across the globe to our day-to-day work? Join us for this informal and interactive discussion, where several learning specialists will summarize and share some of their favourite recent journal articles or book chapters and discuss how this research impacts their work. Participants will also be invited to share their favourite articles, book chapters, or other sources of research and scholarships (such as blogs, videos, etc.) during the session. Participants and presenters will then work together during the session to create a reading list of recent relevant research and scholarship to share with the larger LSAC community.
Learning Outcomes:
- Engage with the literature in an intentional and comprehensive way
- Develop their own questions and interests related to the scholarship and practice of learning specialists
- Connect with colleagues to discuss recent relevant research
- Leave with a list of research and scholarship to explore after the conference
