Abstract

This case study describes how one university is addressing the challenge of embedding evidence- based practice in learning, teaching and technology by building on the concept of distributive leadership. Following its launch in 2008, the Caledonian Scholars and Associates initiative has firmly established itself as a key aspect of continuing professional development for learning and teaching within the institution, with technology playing a central role. The paper outlines how the initiative has benefitted from the experiences and findings of national and international developments and adapted them to the local context by supporting, encouraging and acknowledging evidence-based practice across the curriculum. It provides an overview of evaluation findings and concludes by outlining future plans to ensure sustainability.
