Charting the future of educational development and Centers for Teaching and Learning.Over the past two decades, educational development has become central to how colleges and universities pursue teaching excellence, student success, and institutional change. In Educational Development in an Age of Change, Mary C. Wright, Tracie Marcella Addy, Bret Eynon, and Jaclyn Rivard present the most comprehensive survey of US educational developers to date, tracing how the field has evolved and where it is headed next. Based on responses from 550 educational developers and senior leaders across a wide range of institutional types—including community colleges and Minority-Serving Institutions—the book revisits and extends landmark national studies from 2006 and 2016. Tracking change over time, the authors examine who educational developers are, how centers for teaching and learning are structured and resourced, what initiatives they prioritize, and how they assess their impact. They give particular attention to strategic vision and theories of change: How do educational developers understand their role in advancing student learning? How do they navigate political pressures, shifting priorities around diversity and equity, the rise of generative AI, and ongoing questions about the value of higher education? Keeping issues of systemic inequity clearly in mind, they ask: Where are centers flourishing, where do gaps persist, and how can campus and system leaders better support these important resources? Combining longitudinal data with analysis of emerging trends, the book documents both continuity and transformation in the profession. It identifies signature programs, growing areas of emphasis such as community building and peer review, and the organizational conditions that enable educational development to influence campus-wide change. Essential reading for center directors, educational developers, senior academic leaders, and scholars of higher education, this book offers a detailed map of a profession that now plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of colleges and universities.

At a moment when over half of US colleges are employing ePortfolios, the time is ripe to develop their full potential to advance integrative learning and broad institutional change. The authors outline how to deploy the ePortfolio as a high-impact practice and describe widely-applicable models of effective ePortfolio pedagogy and implementation that demonstrably improve student learning across multiple settings.Drawing on the campus ePortfolio projects developed by a constellation of institutions that participated in the Connect to Learning network, Eynon and Gambino present a wealth of data and revealing case studies. Their broad-based evidence demonstrates that, implemented with a purposeful framework, ePortfolios correlate strongly with increased retention and graduation rates, broadened student engagement in deep learning processes, and advanced faculty and institutional learning. The core of the book presents a comprehensive research-based framework, along with practical examples and strategies for implementation, and identifies the key considerations that need to be addressed in the areas of Pedagogy, Professional Development, Outcomes Assessment, Technology and Scaling Up. The authors identify how the ePortfolio experience enhances other high-impact practices (HIPs) by creating unique opportunities for connection and synthesis across courses, semesters and co-curricular experiences.Using ePortfolio to integrate learning across multiple HIPs enables students reflect and construct a cohesive signature learning experience. This is an invaluable resource for classroom faculty and educational leaders interested in transformative education for 21st century learners.A Co-Publication with AAC&U

In 2017, Bret Eynon and Laura M. Gambino released High-Impact ePortfolio Practice, which drew broad acclaim from faculty and educational leaders. “An instant classic,” wrote one reviewer. “The book I’ve been waiting for!” exclaimed another. With compelling evidence of the impact of ePortfolio “done well,” and a practical framework for educators to follow, this research study quickly led to the formal recognition of ePortfolio as a validated High Impact Practice. Now, with Catalyst in Action: Case Studies of High-Impact ePortfolio Practice, Eynon and Gambino have taken the next step.The book offers 20 powerful case studies, drawn from campuses ranging from Bronx Community College to Yale University, from the University of South Carolina, to Dublin University and Arizona State. In High Impact ePortfolio Practice, Eynon and Gambino outlined the Catalyst Framework, spotlighting the strategies needed to launch, build and sustain a “high-impact” ePortfolio practice. Linking integrative social pedagogy to technology, assessment and professional development, the Catalyst Framework offers guiding principles and classroom-based ePortfolio practices that improve student success, deepen the student learning experience, and catalyze learning-centered institutional change. In Catalyst in Action, teams of faculty and college leaders detail their experiences exploring and testing the Framework on their campuses. Working with diverse groups of students in a broad range of disciplines and settings, the case study authors put Eynon and Gambino’s integrative strategies into practice. Catalyst in Action shares their findings and their insights.As higher education enters a challenging new era, it must find new ways adapt and change, to support and demonstrate student growth and development. Catalyst in Action is a powerful combination of intensive research and practical experiencing. Offering exciting new evidence and fresh new insights, Catalyst in Action will be an invaluable resource for those who wish to build student success, advance higher learning, and meet the demands of the 21st century.A Co-Publication with AAC&U

This set includes: High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action. Between them, these two books, by on the one hand providing the theory, foundations, and guiding principles for impementing ePortfolios, and on the other providing concrete examples of implementation across institutional types and a wide range of programs, provide faculty and administrators with a comprehensive roadmap to integrating ePortfolios in multiple settings at their institutions as a means to improve retention, graduation and student engagement.Review of High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: “One of the main takeaways for me is that good ePortfolio work can be done effectively at any type of institution. Happily, Eynon and Gambino explain how, by illustrating the requisite steps and conditions to do ePortfolio well, in the classroom and beyond. Moreover, all students benefit, especially those who are less well prepared for college, which is one of the most important and necessary features of a high impact practice.The other noteworthy lesson for me personally is that the field now has another HIP to add to the officially approved list. My sincere thanks and congratulations to all those involved for producing this important work and providing the guidance the enterprise needs to strengthen undergraduate education and enrich and deepen student learning. Bravo.”—George Kuh, Senior Scholar, National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment Chancellor’s Professor of Higher Education Emeritus - Indiana UniversityReview of Catalyst in Action: “Catalyst in Action features twenty case studies from a diverse set of institutions, extending from broad access community colleges through four-year colleges and major universities in the U.S. and abroad, to graduate programs in education and divinity. Readers will find in these pages a wealth of new detail on the 'how' of institutionalizing ePortfolios, from first year experiences and bridge programs to designs for entire programs, to enhancements for high priority educational goals such as effective writing.”—Carol Geary Schneider, Lumina Fellow, and president emerita of the Association of American Colleges and UniversitiesA Co-Publication with AAC&U
