Love this! Moving from a quality course perspective to quality created & curated student experiences is radically important — particularly for the “whole human education” @NatUniv & others are championing! And @drmjbishop, @BennettPres_SEW, & @YakutGazi are killer convo partners!
Next week at @QMProgram's #QMConnect - join @YakutGazi @drmjbishop @sewsueme & @markmilliron for a discussion on how we can move beyond focused work on quality online courses to a bigger and better build-out of students’ learning journeys: events.qualitymatters.org/ev…

Love this work... as a field, ID needs to spend some time interrogating our processes and traditionally accepted design guidelines to ensure inclusivity. er.educause.edu/articles/202…

Excellent points @BowlesJohnson! Why Can’t Higher Education Change? "...we should start with a critical look at the fundamental systems already in place that could be better utilized to foster innovation and create change." insidehighered.com/blogs/jus… @insidehighered #highered

Great piece by @drseangallagher about the need for higher education to partner more closely with employers to serve the needs of adult learners edsurge.com/news/2021-08-11-… #edtech via @EdSurge
This is such a nice takeaway from the session today! Thanks to @UWDEPD for running such a great virtual event!

From learner experience design to AR/VR to beyond-grading assessments to the power of co-curricular curation into the family of learning experiences & more, this was wonderfully rowdy. Thank you @drmjbishop @PresBreaux @NSU_DWilliams & all!
Sending many thanks to our #QMPresSummit session two moderator @drmjbishop and panelists @PresBreaux @markmilliron Dr. Vernon C. Smith, and @NSU_DWilliams for leading a rich dialog about engaging and rigorous learning. Next: Rethinking Quality in a Competitive Landscape.
How do we iterate beyond the academic transcript to better communicate what our graduates know and are able to do? Check this out... A Better "Transcript" for Learners and Employers insidehighered.com/audio/202… @UMGCCareers @iitbream @Univ_System_MD @KirwanCenter @insidehighered
The "educational benefits" rationale for supporting diversity in #highered "accords with the preferences of, and better relative outcomes for, white Americans over low-status racial minorities." We need to add that inclusion is also the right thing to do. insidehighered.com/news/2021…
Among the truly inspired ideas that has come out of the last year. Hoping we can replicate the “Finish Line” program elsewhere across the @Univ_System_MD! @UMBC er.educause.edu/articles/202…
Fear of failure is one of the main adversaries of innovation. But now, more than ever, we can’t be afraid of trying to improve. My @KirwanCenter colleagues and I discuss solutions to this dilemma and more in @gtprofed’s eBook: sites.gatech.edu/movinghoriz…. @Univ_System_MD
