This article describes in detail the difficulties many colleges are facing in regards to their athletic programs. In light of student activity, academic, and other university fee increases, many students are reluctant to approve increases to keep varsity sport programs afloat. Although the reasoning is justified, maintaining athletic programs is vital to the operation of many universities, especially when sport teams are generally considered the most visible entity a school has to promote their academic mission. The article also mentions the involvement of the NCAA and their lack of research and assistance when it comes to monetary issues for member institutions, especially with schools which lack a football program.

NYC public school students showed increases in their math scores this year. Some say they show great increases and are reasons that the school should stay in the control of the mayor. Others argue that the improved scores are misleading - educators are getting used to the testing and know what to expect and they are thinking of raising the scores.

I decided to post this article becuase last week I found one similar about schools who had improved achievement on test scores and were going to stay open; and now this article is talking about comparing some of the schools in that same ISD and making budget cuts because of test comparibility. The schools are magnet schools and learning centers that are facing these cuts and some of those schools are funded more than others. Parents are upset becuase the schools are funded equally and that the superintendent is trying to enforce cuts based on tests that don't show a true comparibility, like the school district is stating. It will be interesting to see the outcome of this vote. Education News - The Dallas Morning News is your trusted source for news from schools and school districts.

More and more colleges are looking at the option of providing students with three year degrees in order to save time and money for those who know exactly what they want to study. Although several schools across the nation have pondered the idea and others offer 3-year degrees, many enrolled students are opting to stay for an extra year for social and academic reasons.

This article describes the growing amount of applicants to the military academies including West Point, the Naval Academy and the Air Force academy. Officials at these institutions claim increased marketing and advertising campaigns, the declining rate of casualities abroad and the economy as top reasons why applications are at their highest since 1988. All three institutions are also citing a more diverse pool of minorities as applicants as well. Other colleges and universities are also seeing this trend as well, as state schools and ivy league institutions are seeing more applicants than in years past due to more financial aid being available for incoming and current students.

The experiences of Chinese learners on two e‐learning programmes in China were investigated, focusing particularly on the formation of learning communities. Data were collected using a range of instruments to access the learners' perspectives in depth and detail. Archer's account of reflexivity as the mediating power between structure and agency is applied to understanding how learners succeeded in one programme in forming a learning community, through their negotiated responses to the existing structural and cultural conditions, whereas little evidence was found of the emergence of learning community in the other case. Further understanding emerges from reappraisal of Confucian philosophy of learning and social relationships, how these influenced the participants' prior learning experiences and how they play a part in their responses to the e‐learning experience.

Formative assessment generates feedback on students' performance, thereby accelerating and improving student learning. Anecdotal evidence gathered by a number of evaluations has hypothesised that audio feedback may be capable of enhancing student learning more than other approaches. In this paper we report on the preliminary findings of a quasi‐experimental study employing qualitative techniques for triangulation, conducted to evaluate the efficacy of formative audio feedback on student learning. We focus on the delivery of 'voice emails' to undergraduate students (n = 24) and evaluate the efficacy of such feedback in formative assessment and ergo students' learning, as well as achieving a better understanding of students' feedback behaviour post‐delivery. The results indicate that audio feedback better conforms to existing models of 'quality' formative feedback, can enhance the student learning experience and can be more efficient in feedback delivery. Despite this, and high levels of feedback re‐use by student participants, the audio treatment group underperformed in learning tasks when compared with the control group. Differences between the groups were not statistically significant and analyses of individual and mean learning gains across the treatment group provide little indication of improvements in learning.

While industries such as music, newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere. However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.
