In my teaching I am employing a Participative Learning (PL) style that actively involves students in the process of teaching and learning. In almost all courses I am using what I have called the Expeditionary Triangle, which connects theory with real-world cases involving an instrument or a tool. Those three elements I demonstrate to students effectively inform and influence each other. Student group work within a term project (the expedition) is a capstone in my PL approach, which always requests a hindsight reflection on the group process. Such debriefings I believe enhance students’ social process awareness and improve individual and group capabilities of learning and performing in teams. Since my arrival at the UW iSchool I have predominantly taught courses in two programs, that is, the Master of Information Management Program (MSIM) and the Master of Library and Information Science Program (MLIS). Also, I am teaching a course sequence in the UW Business School’s Global Executive Program. Over the past five years I have prepared from scratch seven courses, four of which were core courses and three electives. One of the core courses was prepared for distance mode learning. The courses address various dimensions of Information Management and their organizational ramifications. Most courses I teach are for Executive level students who pursue a master’s degree while being employed in industry or government. Those students typically hold leadership or senior professional positions in their organizations. In my teaching, I always introduce findings from
most recent research including my own. According to
the consistent feedback, which I have received over
the years, in both the classroom and distance mode
my students benefit from the PL-based course design
and the relevancy to practice originating in my own
practitioner experience in the ICT industry. Courses
topically range from Change Management, Emerging
Trends in Technology and Management, Management of
Information Organizations to special topics such as
Finance, Marketing, and Information Systems in a
Global Enterprise. Both student and peer evaluations
of my teaching have been very favorable.
