Graduate Assistantship: research and educational technologies support of the new learning compact institute for professional learning

Project Type: Graduate Assistantship, Ed-Technologies Support, Qualitative Research
Topics and Themes: Higher Ed Leadership, Professional Learning, Systems Thinking

The Challenge Space

Navigating present and emerging challenges takes intentional space and time to self-assess and plan for recalibration in meeting institutional needs with the available campus resources in support of all learners; students, staff, and professors.

The Response

The New Learning Compact (NLC) Institute offers opportunities for participating institutions to bring together a diverse campus-wide team to work collaboratively in a cohort institute guided by preeminent higher education experts and authors of the New Learning Compact Framework and Achieving the Dream’s Toolkit for Teaching and Learning. Following the NLC Framework, NLC participating teams work to develop their own campus action plan for engaging large numbers of educators in high-impact professional learning with the aim of advancing student learning as well as strengthening institutional agility in weathering change.

As a graduate research assistant at Georgetown’s Red House, I worked with the NLC team, Dr. Randy Bass, Dr. Laura Gambino, and Dr. Brett Eynon, to help support the logistics and educational technology needs of two cohorts of the institute. Cohort participants include community colleges, HBCUs, and HSIs.

The Artifacts

My part-time work and support of the NLC Institute cohorts included technology management of asynchronous and synchronous sessions, support of the learning management system (Canvas), post-production video editing (iMovie, WeVideo), video captioning transcription (Sonix.ai), literature search, resource compilations, and qualitative research.
