  • 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.

  • The founders of the school say they want to promote work that is strange, impractical and magical. The school’s motto? “More poems less demos.”
  • “People are coming from a programming background, and thinking, how do I make art with these skills? Things that are whimsical? Dreams?” said Zach Lieberman, one of the school’s four founders and instructors, who has taught at the Parsons School of Design and like his collaborators, has one foot in the technology world and another in the art world.
  • The school’s first crop of students include both traditional programmers and designers, but also a beatboxer from Canada, and a Ph.D. candidate studying criminal justice who wants to use data visualization to highlight problems in the prison system, said Mr. Lieberman.

    The winner of the SLATE classroom of the future contest. Lots of cool features. "adjustable furniture, a messy art area, video screens large and small, communal areas for classes to share, carefully placed mirrors that allow for eye contact when a student and teacher sit at a computer together."

    "The nature of the last era was that repetition and management of results increased profits. The nature of this one is the opposite: if someone can tell you precisely what to do, it's too late. Art and novelty and innovation cannot be reliably and successfully industrialized."

  • More than 200 college presidents and employers are pledging to support a liberal arts education, expand access to hands-on learning and better track schools’ success in achieving learning goals like complex problem-solving.
  • One interesting tidbit from the survey is surging demand for, or at least acceptance of, electronic portfolios, which look something like this.
  • So says a new survey by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, in which 93% of respondent employers cite critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills as more important than a candidate’s undergraduate major.

  • In an age of digital transparency, school leaders  have a digital footprint and shadow whether they want one or not. While some school leaders may hang on to the delusion that, “If I don’t post anything online, then I can control my digital footprint.” Or, “If I avoid online technology as much as possible, then I can hide.” But reality says something entirely different. Even if school leaders aren’t engaged in online activities they are leaving a digital footprint.
  • Transparency is the new norm, and effective digital school leaders will master the art of being transparent in their new digital leadership role.
  • For a school leader to think they live two separate lives in these domains is to deny reality. Digital school leaders are keenly aware that their digital reputation is as important as their offline one.
