Our team @uarizonaonline has teamed with @UPCEA (University Professional and Continuing Education Association) to capture data about the ways the institutions of #HigherEducation define #studentsuccess metrics for #onlineeducation.

Please consider taking this snap poll to help us capture these data to work toward systematizing definitions of retention, persistence, and graduation rates specifically designed for online learners, allowing all online programs to benchmark more accurately!!!

This is a fun intro to #edtech that might be useful for #highereducation administrators as they think about expanding their #digitallearning portfolio.

I particularly like the practical approach of this brief overview. As an #onlineeducation advocate and administrator, ROI and the financial impact of new technologies is critical for ensuring student success and developing a long-term strategic approach to innovation.

Let's stop pretending that traditional metrics are sufficient to measure #studentsuccess in #onlineeducation.

Join Carmin Chan and me for an important and timely conversation in which we attempt to push the envelope towards a radical and necessary shift in the ways that #highereducation administrators measure success.

This @DeccanHerald op-ed about the value of shift learning in #HigherEducation from power-based model to a partnership is insightful and thought provoking. IMO, it is one of the better succinct responses to some of the concerns about #onlineeducation and #artificialintelligence.

@SarthakEducati2 I'd love to hear more about this initiative to make #HigherEducation more #inclusive and accessible with #OnlineEducation for people with disabilities!

@AZCentral reporting #Arizona learners are still choosing #OnlineEducation and #DigitalLearning. This is not only true at the high school level. Online modalities provide #accessibility to those that have significant obligations that become barriers. Let's end the stigma and democratize learning!!!

“Technology has transformed the way we teach and learn by eliminating the constraints of time and space….With the help of technology, knowledge can be captured and delivered to any Wi-Fi enabled device, making it accessible to learners at all times. This flexibility has been made possible by new technologies that enable teaching to occur from anywhere and learners to control the pace of their studies…Colleges must embrace technology as a platform upon which a new college can be built, one that is compatible with the latest technological advancements.”

@AACRAO's recent report on undergraduate adult learners (25% of the UG population!) is a must read for all of us in #HigherEducation and #OnlineEducation.

🔎 Check out this recent article "Claiming Space on the Mat" about #yoga and #inclusion by Lindsay Bennett available on Medium.

The article references my University of Arizona Online course "Yoga." The course intentionally highlights issues of #diversityequityinclusion and has resonated with students growing from 50+ to 1,300+ students in 3 years.

@insidehighered's latest piece on online education at community colleges highlights the student populations that are served by all online institutions.

#OnlineEducation is vital to increasing access and correcting systemic inequities that are perpetuated by outdated and outmoded in-person only mindsets.
