Portable Pedagogy: Teaching Computer Science Across Institutions
This program is tentative and subject to change.
We identify barriers to successful cross-sector educational research partnerships and describe effective, evidence-based strategies for overcoming these challenges through a critical case study of one team’s efforts. A federally funded project supports collaborative research to develop educational interventions and deploy them at multiple institutions of higher education. Significant challenges arose in the effort to forge a research partnership between faculty at a research institution and a local community college. The research team successfully implemented several strategies to advance research, co-design innovative educational interventions, and implement these in diverse contexts. We share insights gleaned in the course of this collaborative effort that may be useful for others forging cross-institutional research partnerships, particularly between faculty at research institutions and partners at community colleges, or other postsecondary partnerships between institutions with divergent institutional missions.
