Abstract
As learning becomes more mobile, social and informal, the divide between spaces, places and digital devices is merging resulting in new environments and opportunities for learning mobility. The expectation today is that modern university teachers fully utilise the capacity of digital technologies to design engaging, authentic and personalised learning activities to enrich the educational experience (Phillips, McNaught, & Kennedy, 2011). Holding the view that teachers are the single most important learning resource available to most higher education students (Villar & Alegre, 2007), the purpose of this presentation is to rethink institutional-led professional development to design personalised, collaborative and transformative learning experiences for educators as part of their continuous professional learning (Boud & Brew, 2012; King, 2005). The presentation will take a pragmatic view, curating the emerging discourse to reconceptualise professional development in the workplace, and to surface the characteristics of inner change and outward transformation that intrinsically motivate and challenging educators' engagement in their professional learning.
