4. Innovation is a significant positive change that can apply to people.

5. Innovation is synonymous with risk-taking.

INNOVATION CATEGORIES:1.Evolutionary Innovations (continuous or

dynamic evolutionary innovation) that are brought about by many incremental advances in technology or processes.

2.Revolutionary Innovations (also called discontinuous innovations) which are often disruptive and new.

HOW TO BE MORE INNOVATIVE:

1.In aiming for innovation, surround yourself with those that think differently than you.

2.Thinking differently will allow you more perspectives than what you would be capable of.

3.Great minds may think alike but great inventions come from multiple great minds.

INNOVATIVE PRACTICES:1. A broad range of educational innovations—technological, pedagogical,

structural, and financial.2. A number of initiatives designed to better understand these innovations—

technological, pedagogical, structural, and financial.3. Using an evidence-based approach, to help students, faculty, and institutional

leaders identify the innovations best suited to their unique needs.4. Understanding the forces driving change in higher education; how to advance

and scale change and transformation initiatives at an institution; and the roles of educational technology, open educational resources, and new pedagogical models such as competency-based education.

5. Use a variety of methods to infuse new and innovative strategies into curricula.6. Teaching styles and technologies that can be used in the classroom - Flipped

classrooms, information/lecture capture technologies, and hybrid/blended course designs.

INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES:1. Engaged Learning: Learning that encourages students to be

responsible for their own learning, to be energized by learning, to make strategic choices, and to work in a collaborative, social learning environments.

2. Active Learning: Learning described as the creation of opportunities for students to act and reflect on the information and ideas presented to them. Common forms of active learning include case studies, simulations, think-pair-share activities, cooperative and collaborative learning, inquiry-guided learning, project-based learning, problem-based learning and team-based learning.
