‘New academic teams’
The SOLSTICE position
A “vision of a multi-professional team of academics, learning technologists and information specialists creating a learning environment and learning experiences with the learner at the centre”
“Intelligent deployment of technologies must be predicated upon multi-professional dialogue”
• From hybrid individuals to hybrid teams – i.e. salad not soup

Conditions for working/learning together
Potential barriers
• Professional silos• Role perceptions• Professional territoriality• Group norms, culture etc.• Pace of change
• Lack of strategic direction• Time!• Individualism• Short-termism re: projects
Partners in educational development
Could “eliminate competition and turf protection within our organisations.” (Stoffle, 1996)

Conditions for working/learning together
Potential enablers
• Focus on common purpose• Pedagogy at centre• Strategic direction/support• Learning from each other• Pilot collaborations and evaluation
• Co-analysis, evaluation and research• Climate of trust• Reward and recognition• Blended learning as vehicle

Implications for CPD
CPD
Learning technologies
Pedagogy
Team(s)
- leadership of teams- pedagogy central- Mix of strengths and approaches- ‘building bridges’
Individual
- role analysis- reflecting critically…- recognise where to get support
- exploring the ‘art of the possible’- knowing your limitations- collaboration
- designing for learning- ‘instructional design’- literacies for learning
![Page 18: John Davey and Sue Roberts Teams or Territoriality: Multi-professional Approaches to Developing eLearning – the SOLSTICE Experience The Open University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649eb45503460f94bbb91c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
‘New Academic Teams’ - positives
• Multiple voices and perspectives • Cross fertilization of ideas• Collaboration and learning from each other – growth in expertise• Cross-institutional developments/relationships
• …and potentially - more effective learning and learning environment
Impact on individuals – their roles and personal development
