What Can We Do To Improve College Completion?

Wed, 12/21/2011 - 21:04

“Because the transition to a knowledge-based economy requires an educated workforce, colleges and universities have made retention of students—particularly those who are academically underprepared—an institutional priority. College completion leads to economic and social advancement for students and is also critical to the nation’s economic and social strength.”
 - U-Pace: Facilitating Academic Success for All Students

ELI March 19 Online Seminar: Register Now

Tue, 12/06/2011 - 21:31

In the online environment, a course is available 24/7. The continuous accessibility of the online classroom demands that you develop new time management strategies. In addition, managing learner issues can be more difficult in the online learning environment than in a traditional learning environment. For some learners, the fact that they do not have to look a person in the eye makes it easier to act differently and exhibit inappropriate behaviors. There are also ethical issues of plagiarism that need to be managed and legal issues, such as copyright, that need to be considered.

Seminar 17P - Designing, Supporting, and Evaluating Active Learning Spaces<br><b>PLEASE NOTE: Separate registration and fee is required to attend this seminar.</b>

Sun, 10/16/2011 - 23:38

Active learning spaces support teaching and learning in a technology-rich, collaborative environment designed to engage students in their own learning. McGill University has developed principles for designing teaching and learning spaces that are based on the benchmarks of good educational practice identified in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and has used these principles to guide, design, support, and document the impact of different active learning spaces.
In this highly interactive session, participants will explore many areas of design including architecture, IT-AV technologies, and furniture room layout as well as their impact on learning. They will use a framework to develop a support plan for these spaces, including proactive and reactive strategies to support instructors and students. Lastly, participants will develop a utilization-focused evaluation plan to determine the impact these spaces have on the teaching and learning experience at their own institutions.
