MOOCs for College Credit


As MOOCs evolve and fit into the higher education environment, we should not forget the difficulty all students face when they seek to discover how any prior learning would articulate before they enroll – especially at selective schools.  There are several issues worth noting about recent blogs and press releases talking about MOOCs and their potential disruptive effect on the higher education eco-system:

1st, selective and elite schools are...

MOOC's for Course Credit


As MOOCs (and other alternative education delivery options such as Straighterline) evolve and fit into the higher education eco-system – including recent news ACE will include course credit recommendations to the delight of many advocating MOOC’s, we should not forget the difficulty all students face when they seek to discover how any prior learning would articulate before enrollment – especially at selective schools.  There are several iss...

A picture is worth a thousand words

Popular photo-sharing site Instagram has been added to the social media mix by many colleges and universities. Proving itself to be a useful tool not only for prospective students — but current students and alumni too.
While you might cringe at the thought of adding something else to your “to do” list, there are a few articles making the case for the new(er) channel with examples of how it’s working for campus communities...

NACAC — A gathering of 4,000 extroverts

This year’s NACAC conference was all about the conversation. At the TargetX booth, in the hotel lobby, over drinks and meals, in the streets of Denver, I learned one thing for certain:
Admissions people like to talk.
Pattie Skrha, Director of Admissions at Baldwin Wallace University, summed it up best when she said, “It’s a gathering of 4,000 extroverts who like to talk!”
Most conversations were about admissions and recru...

All digital all the time

The country’s advertising elite just got a lesson on the dominance of digital.
Ad Age magazine hosted a conference in San Francisco devoted to the rise of digital marketing tools and techniques. On the opposite coast, Advertising Week filled five days of a New York conference with digital, mobile and social media marketing events.

Connected Learning as a Service

This is food for thought and discourse.  In the motion picture movie “The Matrix”, there were several scenes of online learning I think about every time I ponder the past, present and future of learning technologies and the impact on the mankind, society in general and institutions.  The first example is when Carrie-Anne Moss playing the role of Trinity called Tank played by Marcus Chong and asked him to download all she needed to know...

Digital Utilities Sequel

It seems like ions ago that I was working with thirty higher education institutions in the Philadelphia region developing and setting up academic and administrative applications such as scoring assessment tests to billing promissory notes.  This was well before minicomputers, microcomputers, personal computer, and local area networking took center stage following Moore’s Law(1).

Many of us have been through some pretty strong turbulence, but that was the first time I experienced rolling side-to-side.
My mind flashed to my kids, but I was quickly brought back to the moment when the young man next to ...
