Higher education struggles to develop practices and policies informed by disaggregated data

Digital Transformation is having an impact on every industry and field. For higher education institutions, Digital Transformation offers the greatest opportunities and potential for change. 

Technology has the power to elevate and transform education across the entire ecosystem. From learning to recruitment and retainment to research, connectivity is the driving force that empowers the digital era of education.

"Using a descriptive research design, this study explored pre-service teachers’ perceptions of synchronous virtual classrooms and Web camera use in online learning. The study sample consisted of 256 pre-service teachers from the education faculty of a university in Turkey, and data was collected using a survey. The results showed that most pre-service teachers did not want to open their own Web cameras, due to reasons such as unsuitable physical environment, unsuitable appearance, and distractions on the screen. In addition, they stated that instructors’ gestures, facial expressions, and verbal-visual emphases were essential, and they wanted instructors to be visible on screen. They also suggested that student-centered practices and question-answer activities should be carried out to increase the effectiveness of virtual classrooms. In addition, sessions should not be scheduled in the early hours of the day, and should be of short duration."

Even though they are taking more courses, college students are spending less on course materials.

As per a report, 86% of executives rely on Artificial Intelligence solutions because of the uncompromising competition in the business world. Besides automating many recurring processes, Artificial Intelligence (AI) also influences decision-making.  

At work or home, do you even get the feeling the other person(s) in the conversation are only giving you time to speak so they can reply? That time where you can give a meaningful contribution to the conversation is just a pause for the other person(s) for them to think about their next move? When they do reply they give no indication they’ve heard anything you’ve said and continued on their own merry way, their own line of thinking, or their own monologue.

In my 4+ years in the design field, I have interviewed, hired, and worked with a good number of designers. I also started as a junior, and while people who were working with me are still in intermediate positions, I was able to hack through my career and am currently a lead UX designer. A good number of times, I have joined a company and gotten a lead position over people who were working at the same company before me.

Universal-design principles (UDP) help UX designers create software that people with many different abilities can use, without their having to modify things or use assistive technologies. While the term universal design is more common in architecture and product design than in the design of computer user interfaces, the concept still applies.

Mechanisms of human agency, namely, self-regulation, self-direction, and online learning self-efficacy, are situated in the literature as fundamental to student persistence in an online course (Rovai, 2003; Stephen et al., 2020, Tinto, 1993). Zimmerman (1998, 2002) described a self-regulated student as an active participant in the learning process who sets goals, employs and adjusts strategies to assist them in achieving their goals, engages in self-assessment activities, manages their time, and attributes results to behaviors or actions. Active learning, goal setting, and self-evaluation also describe behaviors and actions associated with a student who is self-directed. Knowles (1975) explained that self-directed students also autonomously initiate instructional activities, determine their learning needs, and ascertain the resources needed to accomplish their goals. To engage in the processes of self-regulation and self-direction, students need to have a high level of self-efficacy, which is a motivational disposition that supports persistence by sustaining intention and long-term planning, and encouraging self-correcting actions (Bandura, 1997).

This paper describes current trends and issues in implementing micro-credentials. The Covid-19 epidemic, combined with the increasing cost of higher education; employer concerns about graduate skills and competencies; increasing inequities in access; and student frustrations about lack of job opportunities have all been a catalyst for universities, colleges, independent credentialing agencies, and leaders of national qualification frameworks to rethink the broader credentials continuum in terms of open education and micro-credentials. Students desire more options at lower costs to combine their education and training for jobs. Employers want entry-level employees with better skills and capacity to learn.

Longtime professor Cathy Davidson is on a mission to promote the practice of active learning. And she says the stakes for improving classroom teaching are higher than many people realize. It’s not just about test scores and whether people learn, she argues, but there’s an ethical issue that sometimes gets lost in discussions about teaching.

When it comes to learning on the job, often speed is of the essence. One way to accelerate the traditional learning process is to deploy adaptive learning.
