Continuing the Conversation

Abstract

Instructors can develop their own entrepreneurial mindset by discovering, evaluating, and exploiting opportunities to continue the conversation. In continuing the conversation, there are many potential next steps for the readers’ journey, including updating or creating entrepreneurially minded curriculum (as demonstrated in the previous chapter), disseminating teaching interventions, and networking with like-minded individuals toward future cocreation and collaboration efforts. This final chapter highlights benefits to disseminating teaching interventions, provides a guide for publishing teaching interventions and how to facilitate a virtual writing group (to aid in the writing feedback process), and concludes with recommended dissemination outlets and additional resources. Given the applicability across disciplines, there is much we can learn from each other. The purpose of this chapter is to express the benefit behind disseminating teaching interventions, describe one approach to the scholarship of teaching and learning writing process, explain how to facilitate and receive feedback through a virtual writing group, identify multiple outlets for disseminating teaching interventions, and demonstrate awareness of additional teaching and technical writing resources.

To thrive in a world of frequent disruption, we must learn to embrace change, recognize new opportunities, and create solutions. In other words, we must all be more entrepreneurial.
