To further the spread of educational innovation and the sharing of good teaching practices our faculty decided to set up a professional learning network (PLN). With the PLN the aim is to reach an early majority of lecturers by asking influential lecturers to share their practical experiences.Via the PLN meetings for lecturers are organized, web-based resources are made available and educational support is provided. In meetings lecturers present good practices for their colleagues. The topics of the meetings connect to faculty policy (such as: technology enhanced learning, inclusion of international students).Analysis of visitors to the meetings shows the target audience has been reached. Visitors are mainly lecturers, associate professors and professors, spread evenly across all departments of the faculty. On the topic of Technology Enhanced Learning, 71% of the visitors to the PLN are outside a group of early adopters. Overall, meeting visitors are found to be innovators, early adoptors and early majority.In conclusion we found that a PLN can be used as a platform for influencers to reach an early majority of lecturers

To support the development and dissemination of more activating educational practices, pilot studies were launched on the use of the social annotation tool Perusall. During 2016-2017 several managers of higher education course units worked with Perusall in classes of a size varying from 10 to more than hundred students. To assess the usefulness and effectiveness of Perusall we focused on two related aspects (1) perception by students of Perusall as an appropriate tool to support the processing of the study texts and (2) the impact of student engagement in Perusall on students’ examination results. Student experiences were evaluated by means of online questionnaires about several aspects concerning to the adoption of Perusall and log data about student activities in the Perusall platform. The results of the study show that engagement in deep level processing of course content depends on three critical factors: the transparency of annotation assignments, the perceived ease of working in Perusall and teachers’ use of students’ annotations to discuss the course content during lectures. The study further shows that students receive better examination results the more they engage in the annotation assignments.

... These experiences underscore the necessity of promoting a shift towards a culture of continuous learning Other subject areas have shown promising results in using SA. In a comparative study, Suhre et al. identified a positive correlation between active participation and examination results with Perusall in eight different courses in social sciences [27]. They further found that engagement can be fostered through the tool if certain criteria are respected including stimulating texts and assignment formulations, appropriate group sizes, the a-priori providing of good annotation examples, as well as timely feedback from instructors. ...

... Thirdly, in the solution provision stage, collaboration is prioritized among principals, teachers, and external colleagues (such as those from other schools, researchers, and policymakers) (Aloisi and Scana, 2016;Elkordy and Zumpano, 2018;Menard and Olivier, 2014;Winnips et al., 2019). This collaboration is instrumental in addressing all facets of enhancing teacher professionalism, including professional skills, ethical conduct, and career development. ...
