Description¶

The study identifies essential institutional conditions for successful CA integration: clear roles and responsibilities; interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty, administrators, and developers; and advisory units to guide analytic processes. These entities support "faculty in interpreting visualizations, and translating data into targeted improvement actions." Practical implementation includes short training sessions, virtual spaces for communications and materials, and dedicated discussion spaces where faculty can voice questions and concerns, which helped overcome initial resistance and build a culture of continuous improvement.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Dedicated academic advisory units to assist faculty and facilitate communication with development teams
• Training opportunities and dedicated discussion spaces for faculty
• Clearly assigned roles and responsibilities for faculty, developers, and administrative staff

Constraints¶

• Implementation strategies must be flexible to account for institutional culture and governance; U1 used centralized coordination while U2 emphasized distributed leadership

Target Learners¶

• higher education faculty and academic administrators

Target Learning Goals¶

• evidence-based continuous improvement of teaching and learning outcomes
