Effective Course Coordination Strategies and Orientations

In this presentation I argue that course coordinators can function as a choice architect that can nudge instructors to, among other things, increase their uptake of research based instructional strategies. Choice architects are those that make others’ lives easier by organizing the context in which others make decisions, rather than making the choice for them. I also highlight two different orientations (resource-managerial and humanistic-growth) that course coordinators tend to take to their work. I argue that a resource-managerial orientation is necessary but not sufficient to promote innovation and change.
