-
University groups previously decried "a time of limited and sometimes shrinking budgets for higher education," and called on the Labor Department to lower the threshold and adjust for regional and sector differences. Institutions have pushed back against the significant financial burden associated with raising salaries to meet the threshold or paying overtime for additional hours worked. Though faculty members are still exempt, the status of postdocs with light teaching loads is still in question, and many support staffers are eligible for the increase.

How many members of the Diigo Ed group are using this forum? I don't want to be overwhelmEd by too many social networking groups that I become inundatEd with too much information to be a truly participating member of any of them. I like the Diigo Ed group, so far!
-
I enjoy reading the items in the Forum, but I have yet to contribute.
-
I find the two forums match very well for what my interests are in education.
-
While I am new to the Diigo Ed group (and like it so far), I joinEd CR 2.0 a year and a half ago and have thoroughly enjoyEd the conversations, info, and (especially) the webinars! Lots of good sharing all around.
-
Just a wonderful resource for all who are in to connecting classrooms with technology!
-
I also belong to Diigo in Education as well as four of EdTech type groups, as well as one that I have creatEd for my school.
-
I also can see different uses for these two forums.
-
I've been using Diigo and the group Diigo in Education for quite some time, but Classroom 2.0 is active with tons of ideas for all of us.

At the recent HighedWeb conference in Austin, the itinerary included several ways schools can use social media, blogs and mobile technologies to better captivate its student body .. As tomorrow's grads become increasingly married to their mobile devices, here are five ways that mobile tech matters just as much as social technology in the higher ed space.

on the revolutionary aspect of MOOCs to break down traditional barriers to higher ed as regularly stated by CEOs Koller and Thrun: "This rhetoric is perhaps the most glittery yet in the public discourse about online higher education. But it is also a diversion shifting attention away from the logic of profit-making. For parents, students, and the general public who focus primarily on what education means for people's futures, for social mobility, for a healthy economy and a robust democracy, a dip into the insider talk of MOOCs, their investors, and industry analysts is both instructive and disorienting."
Colleges use FAFSA information to reject students and potentially lower financial aid packages | Inside Higher Ed - 34 views
-
When would-be college students apply for financial aid using the FAFSA, they are asked to list the colleges they are thinking about attending. The online version of the form asks applicants to submit up to 10 college names. The U.S. Department of education then shares all the information on the FAFSA with all of the colleges on the list, as well as state agencies involved in awarding student aid. The form notes that the information could be used by state agencies, but there is no mention that individual colleges will use the information in admissions or financial aid -- and there is no indication that students could be punished by colleges for where they appear on the list.
-
Now, some colleges use this “FAFSA position” when considering students’ applications for admission, which may affect decisions about admission or placement on the wait list, said David Hawkins, director of public policy and research for the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
-
So the institution is disinclined to use up a precious admissions slot for a student who is unlikely to enroll. “The student has no idea that this information is being used in this context,” Hawkins said. The federal government "doesn’t indicate it. Institutions certainly aren’t telling students they are using it. Certainly, this is a concern from this association’s standpoint.”

Higher Ed's Ultimate Guide To Cloud Computing - Edudemic - 8 views
-
Drilling down a bit more, Google has revealed that more than half of those schools involved with cloud computing are either using or considering Google Apps. Currently, 62 of the US News and World Report’s top 100 Universities are using Google Apps for education.
-
Higher education is jumping into the cloud with both feet. According to a new report by the Campus Computing Project, 89% of higher ed currently uses or is actively consider cloud services. I found that figure quite startling as I hadn't thought that many schools were moving into the cloud just yet. Apparently I was mistaken.
