There are many important stories in education today that are either
underreported, or that we do not pay enough attention to. These stories are
important because they could potentially have a far-reaching impact for our
respective organizations or our industry in general. For example:
·
Blackboard is one of the most used online learning platforms in the
world. It has grown a lot through acquisition, but now it looks like it is
making some changes. Is your organization using Blackboard?
“Blackboard May
Double or Triple Spending on Software Development”
·
There has been a lot of discussion within
multiple universities about how to improve the completion rate of the doctoral
programs, as well as shorten the time without sacrificing rigor. Will this latest
effort work?
·
With the numbers of adults going back to school
growing, especially those coming out of the military or with prior military
service, this kind of degree could be a boon to the ever-growing
non-traditional higher education market; if they are done correctly that is.
“Accreditor
Approves Competency-Based Degree at U. of Wisconsin”
“The program will offer credit to students who can demonstrate mastery of the skills they acquired through jobs, military service, or prior learning”.
“The program will offer credit to students who can demonstrate mastery of the skills they acquired through jobs, military service, or prior learning”.
There are many more things like this, so let us all pay
attention because this could affect our students. It is all about the student
remember?
