  • Institutions should be teaching students about the importance of context in online communications, the fluidity of privacy, awareness of nuance, and the power of community-building through social media.
  • Students are learning and growing in tandem with faculty and staff. In the near future, judging someone’s social media postings from their pre-college days may be significantly reduced.

  • Rosenberg said colleges probably have to do a better job of connecting what students are learning in the classroom to what’s going on in the world around them, to further the argument that liberal arts colleges provide a social good.
  • And they acknowledged that liberal arts colleges, which bill themselves as being the best form of undergraduate education, should constantly be striving to be on the cutting edge of good instruction.

      Interesting comment. Wonder how this will be used 10 years from now.

  • But liberal arts colleges are reluctant to expand in size out of fear of diminishing the quality of their experience. Their small-class and residential-campus models are expensive to provide, as are the financial aid programs they deploy to ensure diverse student bodies. Administrators fear breaking down the four-year, full-time model, which they believe is crucial to developing well-rounded students. And the liberal arts curriculum isn’t necessarily tied to preparing students for a specific career, and certainly not a single job
  • Despite significant looming challenges related to affordability, access, public skepticism about value, changing student demographics, and the influence of technology on students and education -- which all the attendees readily acknowledged -- most of the presidents of the liberal arts colleges here this week aren’t planning on substantively changing to how their institutions operate or their economic models.

    Interesting comments from liberal arts colleges. Some think that the liberal arts colleges are not preparing kids for the future. I had no idea that they only enroll 5% of all students. Many are small elite universities.

  • Collaborate with a handful of teachers who share your beliefs (even if there are only two of you! ) Focus on the students. Focus on the learning. Explore the learning principle that really resonates with you,  
  • But I strongly suggest you don’t try to persuade your ‘textbook teachers’ to make a drastic shift into inquiry-learning  in one leap.
  • How do we honor the uniqueness of every student while ensuring that each is developing a skill set and knowledge base that will prepare them for higher learning and responsible, informed citizenship?’

  • that people should weigh in deciding whether their use will add more to the culture than it will cost the rightsholder: the nature of the copyrighted material, the nature of the use, the amount, and the market effect.
  • Is your use transformative? (In other words, did you add real value and did you employ this material for a different purpose from the one that the owner created it for?)
  • Is the amount appropriate to satisfy that new purpose?

  • But even people who want to give their work away may need to quote copyrighted material. They can’t give other people’s work away. We’ll never not need fair use, because copyright ownership rights are so widely seen as valuable, and because all culture builds on existing culture — as every academic who wrote a lit review section in a journal article knows.
