@tbcavanagh Mine on the way in to CAEL was from Mongolia with a wife and four teen kids. Has been here two years & drives for a living. Has a degree from a Mongolian U but no recognition of it/credits here. Is using his local CC for language acquisition & just learned he may have a pathway.
@tjoosten There's some great stuff about digital access equity and its impact on higher ed opportunities for underserved populations that has come out recently, and there is a definite social justice bent. I'll find a couple reports and send them. Also - big focus for a few grant makers.
Interested in #studentsuccess? Consider that 36 million Americans have #somecollegenodegree, and 10 percent of those have at least two years' worth of credit. What can we do to support their college completion? https://t.co/fwCrfXLMqq
“Potential completers” are what a new report’s authors call the 3.5 million adults who have collected what amounts to two years’ worth of full-time enrollment over the last decade. https://t.co/q158pF5rJW

@EmCalGal@sofiabahena_ @VaSansone @VictorSaenzPhD@GandaraDenisa @tarynozuna @Ruth13L I haven’t in a couple years, but that’s what most of my research prior focused on. I’d love to re-engage on this. Let’s chat!
The Privileged Poor is a book about encouraging US universities to have “as robust conversations about social class as they do about gender and race." Genuine access must mean equity and inclusion. And it isn't just at elite institutions. https://t.co/tEv9Qqx5UW
"There is an imperative for us to do new things...don't go slow, just go thoughtfully." Recent Educause report showed only 4% of institutions are engaged in digital transformation but it exerts "major influence" at 40%.
"Numerous public university systems and state flagships are planning ambitious online endeavors." Success depends on "pricing, execution and leadership."

Some have unrealistic goals and will struggle. Others have real support and will do well.
Y'all. The admissions scandal is bringing attention to an institutionalized issue. But let's not forget that 85% of students today are "non-traditional" in at least one way. How do we make an impact? https://t.co/GYUv8lOlFa
Really looking forward to #OLCInnovate's opening keynote with @tressiemcphd who will investigate how technology is transforming humanity and the effects it has on #digitallearning. Register to attend, if you haven't already! https://t.co/ygGRxQbJFR
