" the ACE Framework to guide our decision-making and professional development planning. ACE stands for Adaptability, Connection, and Equity. ACE elevates three characteristics that are clear, context-sensitive, values-driven, and mission-aligned; we can use them to plan assignment-, course-, and institution-level responses to crisis (such as COVID-19) in the areas of our university that are connected to teaching and learning."

Sometimes we forget what our priorities are!

"Learning Space as Creation Space The next generation of learning spaces will take all the characteristics of an active learning environment-flexibility, collaboration, team-based, project-based-and add the capability of creating and making. Project teams will be both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary and will likely need access to a broad array of technologies. High-speed networks, video-based collaboration, high-resolution visualization, and 3-D printing are but a few of the digital tools that will find their way into the learning space. The ability to rearrange furniture and technology quickly and easily will be highly desirable. Some project activities will need nothing more than comfortable furniture, food, and caffeine. Others will require sophisticated computational analysis and the ability to do rapid prototyping. Acoustics will be a concern and will need to accommodate a wide range of activities. It seems likely that such space will support more than one team or activity simultaneously. That will be a highly desirable trait, fostering serendipitous discovery and innovation. The ability to quickly and easily capture the group's activities and progress will also be desirable. An emerging class of powerful and effective collaboration tools enables project teams to save and store project elements, resources, concepts, plans, designs, models, and renderings-in short, all the "stuff" that a team might find or make."

Donald Clark on why he thinks ASU have got the right approach to growing research and both access to and quality of teaching.

Do/might PLPs allow learners to identify their route through learning (especially on open courses)?

Making digital learning normal at Dublin City Uni.

News article on Cornell developing 'malleable' buildings (aka future proofing).

Tool for brainstorming and planning.

Hey all, not really a Tertiary thing but thought you might be interested... "Rotorua has embarked on a bold plan to equip all of its pupils with personal learning devices - connecting all of them to the internet and creating a New Zealand-first "e-learning community".

Many mooc discussions at Online Educa - report by Donald Clark.

Interesting points on video production values.

Clark sets the cat among the pigeons with this post arguing that Moocs are the best thing since sliced bread. He's always prepared to mix it up and there are some astute observaions in here. What is missing is what the landscape will look like in 1 or 2 years.
