    "Yale, Cornell University, and Columbia University, backed by a two-year, $1.2 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, have launched a pilot program to conduct classes in uncommonly taught languages, including Indonesian, Yoruba, and Zulu, across the different campuses using videoconferencing technology. In doing so, they're reviving not only language programs on the brink of extinction, but also a familiar concept in distance education. At a time when asynchronous instruction reaching hundreds of thousands of students is increasingly common, these universities are returning to a mode of distance learning geared toward small classes in which students all meet at the same time."

    Interesting to see the emphasis on very high end, very expensive tech.

    "Its innovation is well illustrated by the incorporation of technologies and media, such as Youtube, Skype, Moodle and Wiki blogging, into the heart of the academic experience. Of course, its intercontinental scope, having been co-developed and team taught by faculty and for students at Swarthmore and Ashesi University in Ghana, also makes for a groundbreaking academic experience."

  • Why does it take a flight to Washington to get Ohio’s community colleges, public universities and private colleges to sit down at the same table for a discussion?
  • One agenda item from last year returned: how to encourage colleges to work with each other and the private sector to improve job training, a small-group discussion that included two art institutes, community colleges and state universities.

  • Here are six academic areas that cry out for potential collaboration across the liberal arts college sector and between the liberal arts colleges and research universities. 1.  Liberal arts colleges must aspire to internationalize their curriculum, teach the less commonly taught languages and invigorate or create new programs in geopolitical areas such as Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, South and East Asia. 2.  Liberal arts colleges want the flexibility to explore intellectual themes that connect departments and disciplines but do so without creating new majors and without adding new faculty. 3.  Liberal arts colleges seek to provide undergraduate research opportunities for students outside the sciences integrating teaching and research across the curriculum presents a complicated set of financial, pedagogical and logistical challenges. 4.  Liberal arts colleges want to support faculty members’ integration into the digital humanities into their teaching and scholarship.  In order to accomplish this goal, colleges need access to communities of practice and institutional infrastructure that build capacity and that address the challenges of training, standards, critical mass, interoperability and sustainability. 5.  Liberal arts colleges also need to use digital technology to create new teaching resources such as virtual labs and to create truly interactive learning platforms for use in introductory courses in subjects such as statistics, mathematics and modern language. 6.  Liberal arts colleges need to create arts-based campus cultures that embrace the making of art as an integral component of the life of the mind and a complementary means of connecting different bodies of knowledge.
