Will there be an equivalent of Booking.com for education? What would that mean for traditional institutions? What should institution leaders be doing today to prepare? Please vote for my talk proposal at #SXSWEDU 2024 shar.es/afNFCC
Learning platforms are about to become an important broker of supply and demand in #highereducation and #highereducationleadership needs guidance to "play the game" right. We look forward to your feedback on our latest @HarvardBiz piece! #platformstrategy @theplatformguy

The exciting story of @BU_Digital's 8-year journey from MOOCs to BU's Online-at-Scale degree unit. Good lessons on how facilitating bottom-up innovation can bring about top-down institutional change.

Out of 7+ million researchers across all sciences, 11 Questrom faculty are in the top 2% of researchers with the greatest impact in their respective fields. What a remarkable group to be a part of. Congratulations! #questrommeansbusiness @BU_Tweets
We are very excited to have received a $8M gift to build a new Center that will pursue digital innovation in residential education at @BU_Tweets . Thank you Mr. Shipley!

Fully agree. This oped deserves to be read and seriously reflected upon #highered #rankings washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
For those who speak Greek. My panel on "Knowledge, Competences, Abilities: The future of postsecondary education" at the recent conference of @EkyklosGr #ElladaMeta #highered

As usual, a provocative manifesto from @profgalloway. Some ideas right on, others not so much. Most disruptive to the "cartel that is university accreditation" are his thoughts about tuition-free education by industry leaders Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.

Honored and humbled to have received one of my academic community's highest distinctions. Grateful to the many teachers, mentors, co-authors, colleagues and students who inspired and supported me to become who I am today (follow the link to watch my award speech).

Very interesting working paper: student learning suffered during the switch to remote instruction last spring, but small group activities helped reduce this loss. We need more papers like this. #highered #COVID #activelearning insidehighered.com/digital-l…
How much are the non-course-related elements of a residential #highereducation worth? The courts may attempt to assign a dollar amount. Interesting times ahead... apple.news/ACOBAgIhQQCOwOIPk…
80% of #engineering and #cs graduate students are international. What happens when they no longer come to the US? #Highereducation tuition loss should be the least of our worries. techcrunch.com/2020/09/20/ga…
“Technology isn’t changing #highereducation directly, but rather in a roundabout way: initially by changing the skillsets employers are seeking in new employees, then by digitizing hiring, and now via the work from home revolution.” forbes.com/sites/ryancraig/2…
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Hopeful and excited to witness the longer-term effects of #COVID19 on teaching and learning. PS. @BU_Tweets started its hybrid Fall semester yesterday. We will all learn a ton! #highered chronicle.com/article/how-th…
These have been some of the most intense and exciting months of my career. Can’t give enough praise to my super team at @BU_Digital and our fantastic colleagues at @buithelp for tackling mission impossible with optimism and gusto! bu.edu/articles/2020/hybrid-…
I am usually in agreement with @joshmkim. Never more than on this one! Bringing #highered costs down while delivering a quality experience is *the* trend to watch in the next 5 years. Doing so sustainably is going to be trickier than we think. insidehighered.com/digital-l…
