Note: this entry is also available via Inside Higher Ed here. ~~~~~~. Over the last several years, it has been interesting to see the development of some new and relatively deep collaborative models of institutional (or ‘commercial,’ using GATS parlance) presence in territories outside of universities’ main campuses. These new models tend to be research- and graduate or professional education-oriented, with relatively strong interdisciplinary inclinations.

Syntax highlighting is such a ubiquitous feature in program editors that we often give it very little thought. It’s even like an indicator of program code: you can tell something is code if it is in a fixed-width font and some of the words are consistently coloured. It’s clearly a popular feature but is it actually helpful? The latest paper on this (paywalled, alas) is by Hannebauer et al, which I found via Greg Wilson.

Educational and curricular efforts exist in context. Furthermore, residence life and education departments do not exist on an island. When developing a campus or residential curriculum, it is important to identify partners and stakeholders early on and include them in the curriculum design process. This inclusion can include stages from planning to implementation, and throughout assessment and review processes.

Because developing a residential curriculum entails refocusing your departmental efforts towards student learning, it necessarily follows that you must develop a culture of assessment. A culture of assessment is one in which decisions are data-driven and tested through the design, implementation, and review of assessment measures. As Lakos and Phipps (2004) describe it, a culture of assessment is: An organizational environment in which decisions are based on facts, research, and analysis, and wh

If you’re looking for a classic student affairs story, keep looking. Highly involved undergrad with lots of school spirit and more extracurriculars than classes? For sure! But the part where I realize that all that undergraduate involvement could actually lend itself to a career path that matches my passions and personality? That comes later. My student affairs story is really more of a student affairs journey full of shifting dreams and heart to hearts with myself on what I really wanted.

Insert me… a 25 year old ex-college athlete trying to discover who she is and what she wants to do with the rest of her life. They say to take the road less traveled and that is certainly what happened with me. Growing up, I always had this plan that I would go to college and play soccer, become an athletic trainer, get a dog, have a family and so on and so forth.
