8 Higher Ed Accreditation Reforms That Need to Happen Now - Online Colleges - Search through 500+ Not-for-Profit, Accredited Online Colleges

8 Higher Ed Accreditation Reforms That Need to Happen Now - Online Colleges - Search through 500+ Not-for-Profit, Accredited Online Colleges | PLE for Educators | Scoop.it
These are some of the commonly suggested changes to the accreditation system that many experts believe must happen in the next few years.

#8 should be #1

Establish minimum standards for graduating students.

If accreditation is going to mean something, then many believe that students who graduate from accredited institutions should be able to meet minimum standards upon graduation. This means being able to read, write, and reason at a college-appropriate level. Why the push for this change? Recent studies of college graduates have shown that only 25% are considered literate at a proficient level, something policymakers see as a major problem

 

 

Identify and report on student success.

Cater accreditation to online colleges.

Allow students at any institution to get federal aid.

Reform the peer review system.

Enforce transparency.

Enact stricter penalties for institutions that are underperforming.

Make accreditation more cost-effective.

“Empowering the individual and underinvesting in the collective is our great macro danger as a society,”

 

Investment in our collective institutions and opportunities is the only way to mitigate the staggering income inequalities that can arise from a world where Facebook employees can become billionaires overnight, while the universities that produce them are asked to slash billions overnight.

 

The Labor Department reported two weeks ago that even with our high national unemployment rate, employers advertised 3.74 million job openings in March. That is, in part, about a skills mismatch. In an effort to overcome that, and help fill in the financing gap for higher education in Washington State, Boeing and Microsoft recently supported a plan whereby the state, which was cutting funding to state universities but also not letting them raise tuition, would allow the colleges to gradually raise rates and the two big companies would each kick in $25 million for scholarships for students wanting to study science and technology or health care to ensure that they have the workers they need..

How writers can learn to accept criticism

How writers can learn to accept criticism | PLE for Educators | Scoop.it
These tips are intended help novice writers learn to take criticism from instructors, peer reviewers and editors.

 

Start with the assumption that your work can be improved


The biggest mistake writers make is assuming that once they have submitted a piece of writing, that is finished… and perfect. This assumption sets the writer up for a frustration and anger when it is returned with a request for revisions. It can be helpful to approach your writing from the point of view there is always room for improvement.

You can “be” one place but use data from another “place” on the Web, or use functionality from another place.  The term “Web” is appropriate because both people and applications can connect in many ways not possible before the Web.

Grading and Learning: a Paradox - On Hiring - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Grading and Learning: a Paradox - On Hiring - The Chronicle of Higher Education | PLE for Educators | Scoop.it

I read something recently that said, “By acting as if grading motivates learning, we put both student and faculty energies in the wrong place.” Grades are supposed to assess learning, not be the goal. Students too often see the grade as the thing they go to class for, when they are supposed to go for learning and practice. And it’s the professors’ faults because we hold grades over their heads.

Dana Foundation Blog: ADHD, Multi-Tasking, and Reading

Multi-tasking (or “dual-task performance,” since your brain almost always switches back and forth among tasks) has always been a part of life. Just getting the family out of the house and on its way in the morning is an exercise in ordered chaos, and we usually do it pretty well. But it comes at a cost: We pack a lunch but then forget to take it, and everything seems to take a little longer.Don’t believe me? Here’s an experiment Hopkins professor and clinician Martha Denckla did with us at a conference over the weekend. Do this out loud (or mumble if you’re going to distract someone):

1. As fast as you can, say out loud the numbers 1 through 10.

2. As fast as you can, say the letters of the alphabet A to J.

3. Now, as fast as you can, alternate the numbers and letters: 1-A, 2-B, etc.

If we were true multitaskers, Case 3 would take us exactly the same time as Case 1 plus Case 2. For most of us in the audience, it took far longer. Why?

Assessing Student Learning - do it like assessing someone in their job

Assessing Student Learning - do it like assessing someone in their job | PLE for Educators | Scoop.it

"These days it seems lots of "Education Reformers" and politicians what to assess students (and teachers) through more and more standardized tests. But that's not how we assess someone at their job. People are assessed in their jobs in their performance on the tasks for their job. We should do the same for students. We need to assess their ability to complete tasks and apply what they have learned to more than some multiple choice, standardized, made by some big corporation test."
