Implementing educational innovations in higher education: from initiation to organizational routine
Educational innovation using ICT has been a priority in higher education for years, due to its impact on the quality
Arthur Mol of Wageningen University & Research has been chair of the Acceleration Plan steering group since September. Arthur wrote this column for the September edition of the newsletter.
“Six months ago, the campuses of Dutch universities and colleges closed their physical doors. Our crisis management teams were prepared for many scenarios, but not for a disruptive piece of DNA. It’s tempting to draw up an (interim) balance, just six months later.
What has COVID-19 changed in the world of education? What do teachers and students think of the current situation? What lessons can we learn from the changes we have gone through? Which innovations will remain? And which ones will (probably) not? Where should innovations be further radicalized? And what do these lessons mean for the future of higher education?
Every university and college is currently working on answers to those questions. All the while we’re still in the middle of a stormy development. I’d like to carefully formulate a few preliminary lessons……:
COVID-19 has changed education forever. However, we now know better what changes we would like to keep. The design, implementation, and details of a new educational practice will keep us – teachers, students, and administrators – busy for a while to come, as we still have a lot to learn. I believe it’ll be beneficial if undertake these learning processes together, and I believe the Acceleration Plan makes an important contribution to this.”
