Asynchronous learning been unfairly typecast in the role of an efficient but tedious & uninspiring way to deliver content. But a fully asynchronous course can be surprisingly experiential, engaging, and distinctly better than in-person in some critical ways. #VWOpen23 #innovation

Rob Lowe's so on point for: 1) why the U.S. lost it's innovation advantage, 2) why the CHIPS Act restarts the U.S. innovation engine, and 3) how universities, startups, and small businesses can take the baton and run the next leg (Not that Rob Lowe😄) https://t.co/sdheWCL8Zc

How can we look at the things we see every day in new ways? @GoldieStandard, @steingreenberg, and @umddeanc share their observations 📓 from design-thinking exercises at #ChronFest.

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Hearing “design thinking” might make you go 😁 or 🙄 . What it’s really about, says @steingreenberg, is having confidence in your own creativity to respond to uncertainty and keep moving forward. #ChronFest

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Let’s apply design thinking isn’t necessarily the starting point. It has to be more specific, says @umddeanc, like: Help students understand why they’re taking gen-ed requirements. #ChronFest
