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.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Burnout. Compassion fatigue. Shifting student expectations. Uncertainty surrounding course modalities. These are concerns we’ve been hearing about for a while now when it comes to faculty well-being. It’s no secret that the state of education is changing, along with the responsibilities and experiences of faculty. Of all the recent changes to higher education, one fact holds true.

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.

We’ve adapted to changing pandemic seasons, dealt with staffing changes and hiring freezes, and continued to support student success.

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.

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.

Menstrual tracking can help a person achieve or avoid pregnancy, understand fertility, anticipate premenstrual syndrome, and detect cycle irregularities that serve as early warning signs of health problems. But when that information is logged on a smartphone app, it could be used as evidence of criminal activity in states where abortion is restricted.

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.
