This article titles how both introspection and having an understanding of where the world is moving- especially in terms of technological advancements, is quintessential to achieving success in the classroom.

'A lot of us can relate to struggling to keep on top of everything.' This is what mature-age students need from online higher education

'A lot of us can relate to struggling to keep on top of everything.' This is what mature-age students need from online higher education | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
Australia's mature-age students often must juggle work, children and study, are studying off campus and have a higher risk of dropping out. Higher education can do better for these 430,000 students.
Peter Mellow's insight:
"Students in general say a critical issue in the shift to online higher education has been a lack of adequate support, interaction and engagement with academic staff and peers."

An integrative literature review of the implementation of micro-credentials in higher education: Implications for practice in Australasia

An integrative literature review of the implementation of micro-credentials in higher education: Implications for practice in Australasia | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
Micro-credentials research, which includes digital badges, is a relatively new field of study that seeks to inform the implementation, portability and sustainability of the ecology of meaningful delivery. This paper reviews literature relevant to understanding connections between universities’ intent to offer micro-credentials and the environment that is needed to do so. From this integrated study, the paper distils a number of core concerns and identifies some gaps in the literature. One of its primary goals is to clear the ground for the construction of a technical model of micro-credentialing implementation that can be used by the various stakeholders involved in the design and evaluation of new micro-awards. A closely related goal is to help those participating in micro-credentialing research to locate and understand each other’s contributions, as fragmentation in research related to micro-credentials makes progress in the field slow. Hence, this review draws together research in the field to identify research foci and gaps, and then also capture some work by micro-credentialing researchers that directly attempts to model the main relationships in the field. The paper ends with a summary of implications for practice, especially for the Australasian higher education context

Spread the loveThe pandemic has taken a toll on all our institutions, and schools aren’t exempt. School leaders know that schools are closed, but teaching must go on, and; learning must go on.

Educators are working harder and longer, and many are exploring the edtech at their disposal.
