New @usedgov #highered regs:
For #stateauthorization reciprocity: institutions must meet closure, recruitment, and misrepresentation regs for each state.
Colleges would pay tuition recovery funds & bonding for some states & meet other regs.

New @usedgov #highered regs:
Programs leading to professional licensure must "satisfy" the educational prerequisites for licensure or certification in that state.
No definition for "satisfy."
What about professions that don't make a determination? www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/…

Breaking: @usedgov releases regs for comment from last rulemaking.
Looks like it will have big impact on #onlinelearning programs using #reciprocity & on programs leading to licensure in other states. Reading thru the 1,077 pages.

Never take for granted the seeds you are sowing everyday for Equity
- @ItsDrMordecai recognizing that results can take time but getting to any finish line first requires us to get started #wcet2022
"Technology has the opportunity to remove the wall. The question is how are we going to use it." Access is more than an ideology; it's a value proposition. @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
"Digital equity is a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy." @ItsDrMordecai and National League of Cities #WCET2022

How are YOU promoting access? How are YOU creating new pathways toward success? How are YOU using technology to drive equity? How are YOU aligning strategic planning with resourcing? - @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
Understanding digital equity:
1) To understand digital equity, we must first understand the #digitaldivide
2) Key factors creating the #digitaldivide: age-related, socioeconomic, geographic, and racial/cultural/language @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
Access is more than just availability; it's about disaggregating data to develop new pathways for success @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
"Systems will do what they are designed to do and that is all they will do." You can't keep equity on the outside of the structures and expect that your students will be equitably served according to @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
Embracing the power of holistic student supports: structural change+process change+attitudinal change=student success breakthroughs according to @ItsDrMordecai. How can technology help us do these things while centering equity #WCET2022
Structural barriers for #highereducation equity: college app, financial aid, accessibility, advising, cost, dev ed, limited course offerings, lack of support, mental health, poverty, assessment, one size fits all @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
"In #highereducation, equity requires institutions to identify structural barriers facing under-served students." Can you find equity in your mission? @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
#highereducation is going to reach a value proposition crisis according to @ItsDrMordecai. If you look at New America's research, we're already there. #WCET2022
Failure to embrace that we are in a new era of higher education means a loss of relevance of #highereducation @ItsDrMordecai #WCET2022
41% of students surveyed had a preference for fully online courses and 80% prefer at least some courses to be completed online according to @AnthologyInc global higher education survey #WCET2022
Really excited that the Congressional E-Learning Caucus is being re-established after almost a decade. Shout out to @AnthologyInc for helping make this happen. #WCET2022

Like @ErikaGSwain mention of having internal checks (including #marketresearch) before a program launches #online with or without an #opm #WCET2022

@PhilOnEdTech OPM contracts are strategic contracts that must be evaluated - (paraphrasing here) - and these relationships have to monitored and managed. #WCET2022 Institutions have a responsibility for the organizations they elect to partner with for whatever suite of services.
Best advice about #opm: consider what your goals are and why and do you have the right people in the room as you are contracting according to @ErikaGSwain #WCET2022
