Sustainable learning design in large transformational teaching and learning initiatives

Abstract

Ensuring lasting impact of transformational teaching and learning initiatives in higher education can prove challenging. The sustainability of such initiatives may hinge on capacity building of teachers, balancing innovation and sustainability during the design process and ensuring that the story of change is shared beyond those involved in the initial transformation. Using a case study example, this concise paper discusses how a transformational teaching and learning initiative in a large Australian Business School is approaching sustainable learning design through co-design, capacity building and the dissemination of research.
