AB  - This Work-in-Progress presentation will detail work in progress as part of an NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) Grant, Teams for Creating Opportunities for Revolutionizing the Preparation of Students (TCORPS). It is an Adaptation and Implementation grant based upon the “Additive innovation” model proposed by Arizona State University. The vision is to focus on faculty development and culture change to reduce the effort and risk experienced by faculty in implementing pedagogical changes and to increase iterative, data-driven changes in teaching. The efforts include annual teaching retreats, faculty development workshops, facilitation of the innovation process, and creating a community of practice for sharing learning. 

One of the changes, more specifically, has been initiation and then refinement of an annual departmental teaching retreat. As an Adaptation and Implementation grant, the original intent for the retreat was to follow the learning of the ASU RED team and develop a common vision and mission for teaching in department using the Education Value Canvas [1]. The first retreat was conducted during the Covid 19 pandemic using the Mural co-creation platform. Mural did enable engagement in the process and a vision and education value canvas were developed. As the first cohort of teaching innovators approached the one-year point, however, we realized that the sharing, learning, and frameworks that helped scaffold the innovation process were engaging faculty more than the mission and value canvas. In addition, inspired by Petland’s work showing that increasing and improving information flow can lead to increased innovation and idea generation, in our second year we pursued the Antigua Forum Format to increase and improve information flow in our annual teaching retreats [2]. The Antigua Forum Format, developed by a team at Universidad Francisco Marroquin, is a co-creation version of an unconference [3]. Based upon the idea that the some of the highest value at a conference comes from the technical discussions with colleagues at breaks in between talks, the format emphasizes extremely short presentations and a great deal more time for discussion and collaboration. Space is laid out for collaboration and co-creation. Project owners and facilitators lead stations where purpose driven outcomes are sought and displayed on a project board. Participation within the forum is self-organizing in that people can move from station to station as their interest dictates. Note taking is visual with Post-It Notes on the project boards. Facilitators and “ground rules” encourage listening, building on others’ ideas, sharing the air, and making thinking visible. Our hypothesis is that this format increases interaction and discussion about teaching among the faculty and will therefore increase idea generation. Our study of this format anonymously tracks and records interactions among faculty and includes surveys covering idea generation and participant engagement. As a first look, network maps of interactions show high levels of interaction and decreased centrality. Surveys show high levels of idea generation and engagement.
