Abstract | This dissertation is a case study of State Public University (pseudonym), a large, public university in the United States, and the promising practice that improved student learning by redesigning an Information Technology course (pseudonym IT-101). The stakeholders were faculty who were involved in the redesign. As part of this qualitative study, interviews were conducted to identify faculty assets in the areas of knowledge, motivation, and organizational resources that enabled them to increase student learning. Supporting data was collected from the external consultants who assisted them. In addition, documents were reviewed to supplement data obtained in interviews. The research questions that guided the study were designed to identify the faculty knowledge and motivation that enabled them to redesign the course to improve student learning outcomes, to determine the interaction between organizational culture and faculty knowledge and motivation, and to determine what recommendations may be appropriate for implementing the promising practice at other organizations. Results showed that faculty had the expertise to redesign the course, were self-motivated, and that the organization provided resources to support their effort. A key recommendation is that organizations who want to improve employee performance should consider the collaboration, stakeholder engagement, management support, self-efficacy, and willingness to take risks that permitted faculty to improve student learning at State Public University.
