University of Phoenix faces probation | Arizona Republic

University of Phoenix faces probation | Arizona Republic | :: The 4th Era :: | Scoop.it

By Josh Brodesky

 

"The University of Phoenix, already grappling with declining enrollments and revenue, could be placed on probation by its accrediting agency.

 

"That was the determination of a peer-review team from the Higher Learning Commission, which accredits more than 1,000 colleges and universities across 19 states, including Arizona State University and the University of Arizona. If placed on probation, University of Phoenix would still continue operations and maintain its accreditation. But analysts warned it could be a distraction for a company in transition while placing it at a competitive disadvantage.

 

"The draft report recommends probation through the fall of 2014."

TED Teams with Wiley on Free Instructional Materials -- Campus Technology

TED Teams with Wiley on Free Instructional Materials -- Campus Technology | :: The 4th Era :: | Scoop.it


Instructors have a new free resource to help them integrate content from TED talks into their courses. TED has teamed up with publisher John Wiley & Sons to create PC- and iPad-based content that can be used to support lessons on happiness studies and statistics, with more on the way. TED is a non-profit organization that holds events drawing experts and presenters from multiple fields to share their work and thinking in a plethora of areas. Those "talks" are recorded and freely shared on the TED Web site.

TED Studies, as the new program is named, combines recorded TED video sessions on a given topic and adds essays and activities to round out each set of programs.
