This workshop will explore how an innovative leader may utilize authentic and distributed leadership frameworks to succeed in today's higher education climate. Putting the emphasis first on who and then on what, we will examine how Higher Education has remained relatively stable over the past two centuries. But today, a torrent of technologies, techniques and connections, as well as economic upheaval, has brought about opportunities and challenges that are unprecedented in the field. Mid-level leaders are now being expected to become strategic, visionary leaders who will transform the institution and the field through their understanding of the evolving technology and pedagogy in the field of online learning. These leaders are called upon to move from operational to strategic leadership. Those who are successful will cultivate a broad vision for the institution, developing strategic approaches both internally and externally while assuring that the myriad of details of operations, regulations, and faculty adoption are addressed.
This workshop will explore operational leadership, strategic leadership and the techniques of distributed and authentic leadership approaches. By using definitions related to Jay Halfond's work in online learning leadership, as well other scholars in the field of both leadership broadly, and online leadership specifically, we will explore what today's online learning leaders need to understand to lead their institutions effectively. This workshop will provide hands on activities throughout the day, as well as several discussion points for the participants to engage in table top discussions. Case studies will be utilized to think deeply about problem solving in the current climate of higher education today.
