A worldwide study of adult learning has found that those who most need it have the greatest trouble getting it. According to a report on the research, adults (defined as people over the age of 15) with disabilities, who are older, who are refugees or migrants, who live in areas of conflict, who are part of minority groups or other disadvantaged segments of society are "particularly under-represented" in education programs intended to deliver lifelong learning opportunities.

Authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt join “CBS This Morning” to discuss how campuses are teaching students to think in ways that will increase their likelihood of becoming anxious and easily hurt.
"“The thing people were not expecting, was that the students are the ones who are demanding [political correctness] now,” Haidt says. “Before, it was typically the students who were demanding more freedom.” This can have a chilling effect on discourse at universities, Haidt says. “At some schools, the men feel they can’t speak..."

Abstract Assessment and learning analytics both collect, analyse and use student data, albeit different types of data and to some extent, for various purposes. Based on the data collected and analysed, learning analytics allow for decisions to be made not only with regard to evaluating progress in achieving learning outcomes but also evaluative judgments about the quality of learning. Learning analytics fall in the nexus between assessment of and for learning. As such it has the potential to deliver value in the form of (1) understanding student learning, (2) analysing learning behaviour (looking to identify not only factors that may indicate risk of failing, but for opportunities to deepen learning), (3) predicting students-at-risk (or identifying where students have specific learning needs), and (4) prescribing elements to be included to ensure not only the effectiveness of teaching, but also of learning. Learning analytics have underlying default positions that may not only skew their impact but also impact negatively on students in realising their potential. We examine a selection of default positions and point to how these positions/assumptions may adversely affect students’ chances of success, deepening the understanding of learning. |

Graduation rates at two-year public colleges are notoriously low, and have long been criticized for inadequately reflecting the value of these colleges to students. Many community colleges aim to prepare students to transfer to a four-year institution, which is a measure of student success; data from the U.S. Department of Education, however, don't capture whether such transfer students eventually graduate. The table below ranks colleges that mainly serve students who are seeking an associate degree or preparing to transfer to a four-year institution by the percentages of first-time, full-time students who completed within 150 percent of the normal time, transferred to another higher-education institution, or were still enrolled at the original college. Over all, more than 57 percent of students accomplished one of those three goals, even though graduation rates in isolation were under 30 percent. Via Edumorfosis

"Racism and sexism are serious problems but not all training efforts are serious solutions.... The world is littered with course on diversity, racism, and sexism. The world is NOT littered with evidence that it works."
Dennis Swender's insight:
Clark documents that tests purporting to measure unconscious bias (e.g., the Implicit Association Test) are unreliable, not valid, and a waste of time that may result in just the opposite results of those desired. Instead, the focus needs to be on conscious racism and sexism. Two books are recommended for combating bias.
