  • forces affecting colleges are well known: economic, as various revenue streams lag behind rising costs; demographic, as colleges enroll more part-time and nontraditional students who struggle with financial challenges, disabilities, inadequate preparation, and work-family stresses; and market-driven, as for-profit and aggressive nonprofit institutions compete for the most rapidly growing student sector, working adults.

  • projects that take the opposite track: they’re innovative, but they tend to rely on open source technologies, and their focus is on individual and collective empowerment of students and communities, rather than commercialization.
  • There’s little need to hire Udacity or Coursera or any other ed tech company to disrupt higher education because faculty and staff representing key nodes in the network are already evolving the theory and practice of teaching, learning, research and outreach in ways that are incredibly productive
  • The best pedagogical change in higher ed is coming from within

    The Faculty Fellowship Program at the University of Minnesota aims to change faculty culture to implement effectively the thoughtful and innovative application of educational technologies...Our collaborative report is both a manifesto and a roadmap for creating a broad, holistic vision of a university culture that supports excellence in teaching and learning with technology...The presence of a university-wide approach to faculty development results in the institution's ability to learn from its own practices.

    Barbara Parmenter & I were both enrolled in this course. I thought it was a mess from the start (the groups issue was the least of it, the pedagogy & organization was lacking, IMHO), interesting to see that it crashed & burned somewhat spectacularly.
