Sharing and Reuse of Innovative Teaching Practices in Emerging Business Analytics Discipline

This paper focuses on the educational research/knowledge management problem of sharing and reuse of teaching practices in an emerging business analytics discipline. Our research context is the Teradata University Network (TUN) community - the leading worldwide community of university and industry members in the field of business intelligence/business analytics. This research aims to investigate the following research question: "How to support and improve knowledge sharing and co-creation of innovative teaching practices in the TUN community?" The paper describes a three-level model of knowledge repository, consisting of (i) instructional resources, (ii) domain-specific learning designs, and (iii) instructional design patterns. In combination, these layers enable design, reuse and sharing of innovative teaching practices, as illustrated in the paper. In addition to making research contributions to educational research and research-led teaching in business analytics, this project also aims to contribute to teaching practice, by improving the current knowledge sharing and reuse of innovative practices.
