Abstract
This retrospective analysis of curriculum change in an academic unit explored the extent to which
characteristics of learning organizations developed during the process. Three practitioner researchers
designed the study as a practice-based, interpretive, single-case study using mixed methodology
with data collected from documentary analysis, an online Learning Organization Survey, and semistructured
interviews. The findings suggest that aspects of a learning organization did indeed
develop and that the framework proved useful in evaluating change processes. We present a
methodology for higher education practitioners wishing to assess their departmental practices and
change processes through the framework of a learning organization.
