Keppell, Mike and O'Dwyer, Carolyn and Lyon, Betsy and Childs, Merilyn (2011) Transforming distance education curricula through distributive leadership. Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 15 (4). pp. 9-21. ISSN 1939-5256
Abstract
This paper examines a core leadership strategy for transforming learning and teaching in distance education through flexible and blended learning. It focuses on a project centered on distributive leadership that involves collaboration, shared purpose, responsibility and recognition of leadership irrespective of role or position within an organization. Distributive leadership was a core principle in facilitating the transformation of learning and teaching through a Teaching Fellowship Scheme that empowered leaders across a regional distance education university. In parallel, a design-based research project analyzed the perceptions of the Teaching Fellows in relation to blended learning, time/space, peer learning, innovation and equity issues in relation to distance education.
