A lot has happened in the past 9 weeks and I think that this course has offered me some new perspectives in terms of leadership and managing change. As a faculty, I tend to focus on leading change only from my perspective rather than the perspectives of all involved parties. The readings and activities gave me pause to consider things through the eyes of an administrator, a support staff, an IT professional, and most importantly a student.
Assignment 4 gave me the opportunity to conceptualize a change in my college that I have been lobbying for-implementing an online quality assurance program. By using this as my concept for the assignment I was able to flush out several issues that could be barriers to a successful roll-out of such a program.
Looking forward I would like to present a case to administration at my college and hopefully, lead in the development of a quality assurance program for our online courses.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone throughout this course and hope to see you all soon! (Virtually of course…)
Hi Steve,
I think we all take on leadership roles, whether formal or not, within our organizations, so having insight into the different perspectives that everyone brings to a problem or project is so important. Glad you were able to use what you have experienced in the course to help identify barriers in a specific project – and hopefully you will be able to use that plan to move toward a successful implementation.
