Experiment with new pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning, so as to better educate a different generation of students? All of the above?
  • ultimately the senior no-wake proponents on campus will delay and/or sabotage any meaningful e-learning strategy.

Screens vs. Print: Does Digital Reading Change How Students Get the Big Picture? - Insi... - 1 views

  • Among young adults who regularly use smartphones and tablets, just reading a story or performing a task on a screen instead of on paper led to greater focus on concrete details, but less ability to infer meaning or quickly get the gist of a problem,
  • Using a digital format can develop a "mental 'habit' of triggering a more detail-focused mindset, one that prioritizes processing local, immediate information rather than considering more abstract, decontextualized interpretations of information
  • the paper users were significantly more "abstract" in thinking. Digital participants reported preferring concrete rather than abstract descriptions of a behavior
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • But first, they asked a third of the young adults to think about why they would solve a problem—a way to trigger an abstract frame of thinking—and asked another third to think about how they would solve a problem—designed to prime them for concrete thinking. The third group had no priming. Of the digital readers who had been primed to think abstractly, 48 percent chose the correct car—significantly more than the 25 percent of digital readers primed to think concretely,

    It's no surprise that graduation rates correlate with grade performance. However, few of our members are using this reliable graduation indicator to target advising efforts and success initiatives. The chart below illustrates graduation rates, broken down by first year GPA, from one of our members (a public flagship in the Midwest).

The College App That Changed My Life | Higher Ed Beta - 2 views

CBE App

shared by wlampner on 14 Mar 16 - No Cached
  • That’s because our new best friend for the next four years was going to be an app called Total Educational Experience (TEx). Designed by The University of Texas System, TEx is our one-stop shop for everything – a vast array of textbooks and other course materials, online access to faculty and success coaches, endless quizzes and exams, social media-like interaction with classmates, and real-time metrics to measure our performance.
  • Ex tells me what materials I should be covering and what benchmarks I should be achieving. This helps with time management and keeping pace with the workload. Moreover, the app’s quizzes are helpful in prioritizing what points should be drawn from the readings. And the fact that there is an explanation for each question — whether it’s right or wrong — has allowed me to better understand the material.
  • ’m not sure how many colleges are experimenting with using this type of app to deliver competency-based education. But I can tell you it works, and you don’t have to be tech-savvy to figure it out.

    good for lay of the land. Last Updated: September 7, 2012 (details at bottom of page). State Authorization--An Introduction On October 29, 2010, the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) released new "program integrity" regulations. One of the regulations focused on the need for institutions offering distance or correspondence education to acquire authorization from any state in which it "operates."
