Abstract

This paper examines an international collaboration between the Universities of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, and the University of British Columbia, Canada, to align institutional teaching development, learning-centred curricula, and the scholarship of curriculum and pedagogical practice. Data suggest that despite traditional institutional challenges with respect to curricula and pedagogical development, international collaborations and the strategic range of institutional SoTL  leadership initiatives has positively impacted learning-centred curricula, course syllabi and teaching practices, as well as local, national and international SoTL initiatives.
