Teradata university network: Creating opportunities for teaching leadership in emerging business disciplines

Teaching and learning in emerging business disciplines, such as business intelligence, open brand new challenges created by fast changing content and even faster changing technologies. The main objectives of this paper are: (i) to describe the challenges of teaching and learning in an emerging discipline (ii) to further extend an existing theoretical model of teacher´s professional development, to capture the next stage of teaching leadership required by emerging disciplines (iii) to describe a case study of a real-life learning community called Teradata University Network and (iv) to critically analyse teacher´s role in order to identify the key aspects of teaching leadership, made possible by this community.
