Preparing for Cross-Disciplinary Collaborative Work in Educational Development.
In this interactive session, panelists representing different institutional types, types of positions, and career stages will offer insights to attendees interested in transitioning into the educational development profession. Panelists will facilitate conversation on i) the rewards of a career in educational development, including the opportunity to produce knowledge and to learn collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries; ii) similarities and differences between faculty and educational development positions; iii) strategies for job- market success and perspectives from hiring committees; and iv) the skills, knowledge, and expertise needed to successfully engage in this work. Emerging opportunities within our field will also be explored.
