Australia has incredible talent across academia and industry, and one of my great career passions has been working with others to realise their combined potential. The National Industry Innovation Network (NIIN), a rapidly growing alliance between Australian universities and industry is, I believe, the embodiment of that potential. With the NIIN’s goal to realise digital opportunities that can benefit the lives of all Australians, it’s a working example of the whole being greater than the sum of
Even if you’re halfway scrolling through Facebook or Instagram — it’s hard to miss it. Vacations. France, Alaska, the Bahamas, U.S. National Parks. Y’all are out. Or at least those of you in higher education were out this summer. Where did you escape to? I was out, too — for nearly five weeks living in an RV with my fur baby Luna and co-pilot Lloyd.
As Higher Ed institutions continue struggling with budget constraints and enrollment pressures, making smart decisions about technology is crucial.

Bret Ingerman, former Vice President for Information Technology at Tallahassee State College, digs into these conundrums, exploring how Pathify offers solutions to enhance student engagement while giving instituti
Blog: Higher Ed Gamma Colleges pay tribute to diversity yet largely offer a cookie-cutter approach to education. Go to most campuses and a conventional, unimaginative, standardized approach to education is the norm: A college education consists of 60 or 120 credit hours, a 15 week-long semester, distribution requirements, a department-based major, and 3 or 5 credit hour lecture, seminar, and laboratory courses.

Last week, I celebrated my one-year anniversary as a department head. The day consisted of teaching students, celebratory cookies, and a few reflective moments on the last 365 days. I can’t believe it has been a year! The last year has gone by quickly. We’ve adapted to changing pandemic seasons, dealt with staffing changes and hiring freezes, and continued to support student success.
Any learning design framework that does not address the psychomotor skills is not worth exploring. There is not a single discipline taught in any formal, non-formal or informal way that does not make use of some tool or technology, instrument or mechanism (aka media), at some point in the process. It makes sense that any curriculum development process needs to put the media at the forefront of its planning.
Many higher ed marketers think that paid media and PPC (Pay Per Click) ads are the answer to their problems, but most fail to realize that this is a long incubation process, and often, decisions won't be made from one ad. Our job as marketers is to create curiosity with our campaigns, and our guest today shows us how to do it. Today we talk with Matt Wszolek , the Senior Executive of Marketing & Media at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Last fall, to little fanfare, the U.S. Copyright Office granted an exemption to a longstanding restriction on digital access to copyrighted books and movies, allowing academic researchers to bypass encryption so they can apply sophisticated datamining techniques to contemporary books and films. These same techniques have yielded powerful insights in the financial, science and medical.
In my recent post on Cengage’s author moving over to OER, I included some references to a small company called Activ Learning which was mentioned in a joint press release. I received a complaint from the company’s CEO on Friday afternoon, asserting that the post contained inaccurate speculation about Cengage’s relationship with Aktiv—the companies have none—and an assumption that the interaction model in their current OpenStax integration in their current Chemistry product woul

Just because the goal to raise student achievement is clear in your head, does not mean it’s clear to your team. Here are three questions your instructional leadership team and teachers must know the answer to. Download a copy of my book and read chapter two, Quality of Student Work for more resources.
When I was growing up, my parents would tell me, “Good things come in small packages.” For years, I thought they gave my sister and me this counsel because we were lower middle class and didn’t have all the big things others did. Now, I see this through a new lens as my husband, Richard, and I have made our first big philanthropic investment in higher education: supporting one of our nation’s small liberal arts colleges.
Image: Thousands of comments were sent to the Education Department on a new set of proposed regulations aimed to improve “targeted” debt relief programs for some student borrowers. Among the comments sent in before the deadline last Friday were letters from Senate Democrats and congressional Republicans. The department proposed a set of rules in July that would make it easier for students who were defrauded by their college or who attended a college that closed to get debt forgivenes
The Modern Language this week released guidelines by which faculty members, department and institutions may evaluate publicly engaged humanities scholarship.

Blog: Higher Ed Gamma We need to do a much better job of teaching our students to write effectively. Effective writing is far too important to be left to freshman rhetoric and composition courses or designated writing intensive courses. By ghettoizing writing instruction in distinct courses, we inadvertently send our students a powerful message: That we don’t really value effective written scholarly communication.

Image: University of Missouri system employees are pushing back against proposed changes to the paid time off policy, saying it will mean a cut in benefits and less time off over all. The changes would affect about 13,000 staff members across the system’s four campuses and the university hospital. System officials said the plan, which is still subject to change, is aimed at modernizing the leave policy, boosting recruitment and retention, and saving money.
Image: For a long time, computer scientists struggled to develop artificial intelligence that could solve difficult symbolic math. At best, it could solve high school math problems—and not even well enough to pass those classes. That disappointed Iddo Drori, a computer science lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose 500 students in one of his classes a couple of years ago had more questions than he had time to answer.
