University efforts to retain online students neglect the main causes of most dropouts. They tend see these as beyond their control, but a new study shows why they need to rethink their approach.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a major trend in education. The goal of UDL is to design educational experiences that allow all students to match their unique ways of learning to varied modes of engagement, information representation, and expression of learning. Although UDL originated from disability accommodations in K-12 settings, its proponents now claim that it can increase learning for all students in all settings. The strong claims made about UDL warrant critical analysis. UDL shares problematic similarities in theory, operationalization, and research with the discredited concept of learning styles. No strong research evidence exists that either approach increases learning. Research on both approaches is hampered by inadequate operationalization. Both learning styles and UDL emphasize diversity in learning over universal learning principles and hypothesize that matching instruction to students’ unique way of learning leads to increased learning. Justifications for both approaches rely on overgeneralizations of neuroscience research. Although UDL shows promise as an educational framework, its proponents need to learn from the flaws of learning styles and follow a more scientifically sound path forward.

The digital transformation of higher ed has been going on for years, but the current pandemic has brought that process into laser focus – and accelerated digital efforts perhaps like nothing else could. Institutions are going through deep shifts in culture, workforce and technology, enabling new educational models, transforming operations, and even changing the whole value proposition of a higher education. We spoke with Betsy Reinitz, director of enterprise and IT Programs at EDUCAUSE, about what digital transformation means, how to start a Dx journey, the biggest obstacles to Dx and more.

After a year of emergency remote teaching, learners may feel like they never want to watch another recorded video lecture. "Get us back to in-person learning" is an entirely understandable battle cry for students and educators alike. Administrators might be hesitant to invest time and resources into educational video amid the many negative headlines around learning at a distance.Footnote1 However, few could deny the benefits discovered during this prolonged season of virtual teaching, learning, and working.
Given that the current climate continues to demand more and better online learning, we would be wise to hear from the research community that began asking questions long before the global pandemic.Footnote2 What do we already know about the use of video in educational environments, and how can we apply these lessons today when they are needed more than ever?
