Abstract
Developing teaching and learning in higher education is fluid and context-driven, and changes over time (Gibbs, 2013). Academic development must travel under, over, and through institutional fences, to cross professional and academic, technological, and educational boundaries, and plot a course between classrooms and online learning. Peering through fences, different pathways appear. The academic developer brings the ability to sift options, align fence posts and surface solutions. This vignette draws on the lived experience of an educational technologist and educational developer, using collaborative poetry as creative analytic practice, an artsbased method of inquiry for qualitative research (Prendergast, 2015). Collaboratively cowriting as a research method pays respect to the nuanced and relational nature of academic development (Lapum, 2010). ‘Renga’, a Japanese genre of poetry created collaboratively, inspires this creative response to academic development (Buck-Albulet, 2021).
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Academic Development ( IJAD) is the journal of the International Consortium for Educational Development. The purpose of IJAD is to enable academic/educational/faculty developers in higher education across the world to exchange ideas about practice and extend the theory of educational development, with the goal of improving the quality of higher education internationally. The editors welcome original contributions on any aspect of academic/educational/faculty development in higher and other post-school education (including staff development, educational development, instructional development and faculty development) and closely related topics. We define ‘academic development’ broadly, and you should read former editor Brenda Leibowitz’s recent paper, ‘Reflections on academic development: what is in a name?’ ( http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rija20/19/4#.VMcX6_7oSGo) to make sure that your understanding of academic development marries with the general sense of the journal. We will NOT accept submissions on K-12 development or teacher education; primary/secondary/high school education in general; or the role that education plays in ‘development’ (economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, etc.).
