“Curriculum swaps” as a pathway into a geographically-distributed instructional community

written by Alice R. Olmstead and Chandra Turpen

We are designing and testing ways to build and sustain geographically-distributed, topic-specific instructional communities. Our work centers on the Living Physics Portal, a virtual space for introductory physics for life sciences (IPLS) instructors. Here, we show initial evidence that a series of facilitated, synchronous "curriculum swaps" can help newcomers to see themselves as more central participants in an instructional community and may lead to higher levels of future engagement.
