From the Executive Summary:
"This research study explores the concept of a Knowledge Exchange Network for Exemplary Teaching as one of the ways for Ontario higher education institutions to identify and promote exemplary teaching practices. We use the term Knowledge Exchange Network for the technical and social infrastructures emerging in Ontario and elsewhere to enable communities of higher education teachers to access, share, extend and mobilize online knowledge representations and resources to enhance teaching and learning. These evolving tools and support structures use the power of the Internet, including access to resource repositories and Web 2.0 collaborations, to extend the impact of our exemplary teachers and to engage faculty with world-class knowledge about their students’ learning processes outcomes (and are beginning to address how to document and demonstrate processes and outcomes for assurance of learning quality)..."
