Compiling faculty members teaching innovations into an annual campus‐specific publication allows others to learn about these ideas and adapt them. This chapter will describe 1) the process used to develop such a Document of Innovation, 2) the types of innovation abstracted, and 3) this document's impact on an institution. A dissemination process including individual meetings with campus leaders provides greater visibility for the Teaching and Learning Center and the featured faculty. An analysis of these annual publications yield comprehensive data about the campus' faculty, their innovative teaching trends, and describes the current teaching climate on the campus.
