Poster Draft

Supporting openness and sharing among faculty

members in the humanities department of a

University of Applied Science.

+Current Situation

Over 30 colleagues in the department

Sharing common within “cliques”

No sharing with whole department

Several attempts made to create portal

+Research Question

Despite a very good working atmosphere among the

colleagues at the University of Applied Science, sharing is not

common. What are the main reasons for this reluctance to

share and can this reluctance be overcome to create a

common platform to share lesson plans with the whole faculty.

+Why share?

Time

“There are a host of great online platforms providing free access to high-quality resources that help teachers do their jobs.”

Experience

“By changing the way teachers engage, learn from and inspire each other, the Teaching Channel hopes to capitalize on the rich base of expertise in the field.”

Quality

“These online networks have the capacity to improve the profession of teaching, and provide the support and resources that teachers need.”

Support

“Too many teachers are on their own. It’s a sink-or-swim system, as Weingarten has often noted, but it doesn’t have to be that way.”

+Solution

Haven’t got that far yet as everything was reworked after

TMA01. Probably using “old” technologies such as Moodle

which all the lecturers already no how to use and assessing

how to overcome the barriers.
