Career Services for New Generations of UCI Students and EmployersGary Matkin
Presentation describes the importance of the 60-Year Curriculum and the issuance of Alternative Digital Credentials as students move toward graduation to enter the world of work.
The document discusses trends affecting student experience and understanding users at SNHU. It identifies several trends, including students expecting a digital-first experience, viewing the university as part of a broader learning ecosystem, wanting voice and participation in their education experience, and empowered staff. The document also discusses different types of users, including career accelerators who are working adults advancing their career and career starters who are using their education to reach a specific career goal. It provides examples of these different user types. The overall goal is to understand external trends and users to help redesign services, spaces, and the organizational model at SNHU.
The Present and Future of Alternative Digital Credentials. ICDE World ConferenceGary Matkin
This presentation reviews the ICDE report on “The Present and Future of ADCs.” It also provides an update to the report with specific examples of issues that were highlighted that have already, subsequently to the report, come to our attention.
We start with a list of recommendations that reveal the overarching purpose of the report, which encourages and provides guidance to ICDE member institutions who are considering, or have already adopted, ADCs.
This document outlines a proposal for a Title II Part D competitive grant from the US Department of Education to improve student academic performance through the effective use of technology. The proposal focuses on implementing a project-based learning curriculum across grades and subjects using curriculum mapping tools. It would support professional development for administrators, teachers, and leaders in curriculum design and the use of ePortfolios and online learning opportunities for students. The goals are to improve student performance on state assessments in core subjects and expand effective technology integration through sustained professional development. Evaluation of implementation and outcomes would be based on the Title II-D Evaluation Framework.
Carlton Bolling City Learning Centre introduced the games-based learning platform I am learning to their host secondary school and feeder primaries to help engage students in revision. This led to not only increased time spent revising but also a fundamental shift in attitudes towards ICT and e-learning among students, teachers, and parents. Schools saw a 20% increase in attainment, and the program was expanded to more schools across Bradford with the goal of further raising results through motivating technology-enhanced learning.
Dr. William Harmon presented on the development of a new comprehensive new student orientation (NSO) program for Houston Community College.

So far, research has been completed, preliminary recommendations have been submitted, and a software system has been purchased to create an online orientation. The committee continues working towards the launch of a pilot NSO program in August 2017.
Clare Dunn - Recognition of short learning programmes and microcredentialsEADTU
The document discusses recognition of short learning programmes (SLPs) and microcredentials. It provides an introduction to recognition and highlights the benefits of recognizing SLPs and microcredentials for learners, institutions, and employers. Approaches to recognition across partner institutions in the ESLP project are presented, with most allowing credit transfer within the institution but with variability between countries. Validation of non-formal and informal learning is also discussed. Recommendations are provided for curriculum design of SLPs to aid recognition, including use of learning outcomes and prior learning assessment.
Post secondary institutions are highly autonomous. Attempts to create services that connect and network educators together across institutions run up against established beliefs that the needs of educators can be met within the institution and do not require collaboration. Collaboration is often viewed as a loss of autonomy and as sharing institutional or faculty proprietary knowledge with a competitor. This presentation is part of a panel discussion exploring how to mitigate the tensions between autonomy and collaboration when building collaborative system services for educators.

California ZTC Degrees Panel: Past, Present, and FutureUna Daly
Online Teaching Conference 2020: Twenty-six California Community Colleges embarked on a journey to create thirty-four Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Degrees to dramatically reduce the financial burden of earning an associate degree or career technical education certificate. More than 20,000 students over three years would benefit from this approach to eliminating the barrier of textbook costs. Data collected from participating colleges show that all students in ZTC pathways did better than those in non-ZTC courses, and that traditionally underserved populations did even better.
With proven results of reducing equity gaps, the Governor has proposed doubling the initial $5 million ZTC program to $10 million in FY21, opening this opportunity to more colleges wishing to leverage ZTCs to increase student achievement and reduce equity gaps. Join us to hear from ZTC champions who led the initiative, supporting the faculty who transformed their courses to lower barriers and improve students learning, and ensuring the sustainability of the program. Consider how to integrate a ZTC approach with your distance education, equity, pathways and other student success-centered initiatives. Learn about how students and librarians are poised to play an essential role in the proposed $10 million grant. Finally, learn the critical steps for success and how to assess your college’s readiness for developing ZTC degrees.

The document summarizes key trends in higher education that professional schools should consider when planning facilities expansions or renovations. Growing enrollment in many fields and high returns on investment are driving more students to pursue professional degrees. Schools are responding by focusing on experiential learning, industry partnerships, sustainability, and hybrid/flexible learning models. When planning projects, schools should benchmark peers, right-size space needs, consider holistic strategies, and make the case for funding.
NASPA Annual Conference: Learning and Adapting Together During the Pandemicbrightspot
How are your student affairs peers adapting? How will they change their services, spaces, staffing, and systems in the short-term and long-term? We discussed and answered these questions and more by facilitating a conversation among student affairs leaders across different colleges and universities to understand how they are adapting to the pandemic to be student-centered, agile, and equitable. Together, these stories and strategies will help you plan for the future and make immediate impact at your institution.

From “What if?” to What’s Next?”: Planning for a Next Generation Business Schoolbrightspot
Societal challenges and opportunities no longer fit in departments. Future success requires business researchers, educators, and students to interconnect across the entire campus and beyond. In this session, we will explore how to plan a campus ecosystem that connects business with people, ideas, and resources to drive a new research and education model. You will learn key strategies and find opportunities—encompassing planning, programming, design process, and lessons learned from building use—to advance your institution’s mission and build a framework to implement your initiatives.
Transforming the Academic Workplace at the Campus Scalebrightspot
Faced with high demand for admin offices, changing needs, and shortages of space, how can institutions restructure their campus workplace strategy to optimize the amounts, types, and locations for staff? This presentation from the 2019 Tradeline University Facilities conference calls upon recent case studies of campus-scale administrative space strategies for large institutions to deliver lessons learned and a proven process for assessing quality, quantity, and location of office space; introducing new workplace standards; making long-term decisions; and making the operational and organizational changes required to implement a dramatically more effective and effective staff space program across the campus.
The document discusses steps to transform traditional libraries into 21st century learning environments. It outlines 10 steps including conducting research on user needs, establishing a vision for the future library, forecasting space and technology needs, creating a playbook of ideas, updating services and partnerships, rationalizing spaces on campus and within buildings, identifying phases of implementation, running pilot projects, and redesigning the library organization. It then provides case studies on the Georgia Tech, University of Miami, and University of Michigan libraries that demonstrate applying these steps through research, new service models, and pilot programs.
Elliot Felix from brightspot strategy gave a presentation on transforming learning spaces and experiences. The presentation covered engaging students in the classroom through active learning spaces, enabling student success through shared service hubs, building student skills through project spaces, and supporting online learning. Key principles for institutions included considering spaces, services, and staffing holistically; integrating physical and digital experiences; conducting assessments before targeting areas; and using pilots to test ideas.

ACCESS + AWARENESS
IMPROVING AWARENESS
• MARKETING: Are students pro-actively notified
of the help that is available?
• VISIBILITY: Do students see service providers
and service centers as they go about their day?
Can they see other students getting help?
• EXPECTATIONS: Do students know that services
are free of charge, and know what paperwork
or permissions they'll need?
IMPROVING ACCESS
• OPEN HOURS: Are services available when
students need them?
• SELF SERVICE: Can students help themselves
through an online portal?
• LOCATION: Are services easy to find? Are
they located together for easy
coordination?

will be treated fairly with empathy and respect?
• ALIGNMENT: Are services aligned to the current
challenges students are facing? Will they
genuinely help?
• BASELINE NEEDS: Are students basic needs met?
Do they have the personal capacity to seek help
for more complex issues?
