The researcher

The background - sharing and understanding practice

The research approach (participatory collective case study approach using a wiki to capture authentic stories and develop guidance and exemplars) leading to the Toolkit

The implementation model https://epip.pbworks.com/ - what else can we learn from its application?

9/13/2013 Event Name and Venue

Key issues - Champions are not necessarily academics (placements

and employability) - Champions can lack confidence in sharing developing

practice - Champions may not recognise themselves as

‘champions’ - Practice is situated - Stakeholder engagement is a complex and an ongoing

process (Both staff and student) Careers? Alumni? - The central unit may be vulnerable (often project

funded)
