CAPTURING, TRACING, AND VISUALIZING THE SPREAD OF TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

The aim of this paper is to describe the process and results of capturing, tracing, and visualizing the spread and evolution of technology-enhanced instructional strategies within medical and graduate education. The paper shows the resulting network of influences in relation to the adoption of these strategies across individuals and communities within Georgetown University as well as beyond its organizational boundaries. The underlying framework used to guide this approach is that of knowledge exchange or peer-to-peer learning. The framing of this approach is based on the Art of Knowledge Exchange guide [1] which was developed by The World Bank Group. The paper concludes by proposing that a knowledge exchange framework may serve as an alternative to more traditional evaluation methods and return on investment models used in higher education.
