Blog: Learning Innovation My favorite YouTube channel has nothing to do with higher education. The videos that I always watch are about infrastructure, construction, and society. The channel is The B1M. The B1M bills itself as the “definitive channel for construction.” And I guess it is, although maybe there are many construction YouTube channels.

If there is anything constant in social media — it is the rise and fall of platforms. You may have tried one of these in the last decade. Peach, Clubhouse, Meerkat, Vine, Ello. I could go on. I try to be pretty particular when I bring an app to the attention of my clients and digital community. I’m not saying I’m a futurist, more like a digital explorer, but I was shining the light early on about.

Image: A powerful heat wave that began a week ago is forcing colleges and universities across the West Coast to take extra safety precautions, such as providing additional air-conditioned places to study on campus and advising students on how to recognize heat exhaustion.

The enormous potential of transfer from community colleges to four-year institutions presents a ray of hope among the pandemic-related enrollment declines, which have particularly affected students from marginalized backgrounds. Many high school graduates are opting out of college, but if they do ultimately enter higher education, it will most likely be through community colleges— historically a primary gateway for returning adults.

I just finished reading Paul LeBlanc’s book Students First: Equity, Access, and Opportunity in Higher Education. To be clear, this post is neither a book review nor a comprehensive exploration of Competency-Based Education (CBE), although it contains some elements of both. Rather, I’m interested in exploring how to think about a well-drawn and incredibly ambitious proposal for change in education.

Reading Time: 12 minutes Various marketing efforts can be put in place to attract and engage prospective students. However, it’s your calls to action (CTAs) that actually drive conversions. If you’re thinking, what is a call to action? Then it’s best to think of them as prompts that encourage an immediate response or sale. For schools, an effective call to action can result in more student applications and enrollments. .

Blog: Confessions of a Community College Dean. Last week’s story in IHE about Cococino Community College being forced to put its automotive program on hold for lack of faculty sounded familiar. The gist of the story was that the same hot hiring market that drives students towards a field also tends to keep people in the field from accepting a massive pay cut in order to teach it.

While students learn that the English arrived in Virginia in 1607 and that the Pilgrims reached Plymouth in 1620, few realize that the first European exploration of what is now the United States took place in Florida in 1513 or that the first European settlement was a town established by Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón at San Miguel de Gualdape on the coast of Georgia in 1526.
