Exploring, launching and sustaining educational #newventures to offer students at Mason #accessible, #affordable pathways to degree completion.

With the evolving Covid-19 environment, we are providing training in live/real-time virtual formats as well as self-guided, not-in-real-time, courses. Which type of online class do you prefer?

So much fun having Anne @trumbore on Pathbreakers to talk about Micro-Credentials and stackables. Best point: "more than ever students are asking 'can I get immediate value from my education if it's in smaller bite-sized pieces, on the way to a degree'" https://t.co/HVIizCOqu9

Next Friday @GeorgeMasonU is delighted to be hosting Georgia Tech's Richard DeMillo @rad_atl for a conversation about #online programming and the Georgia Tech model. Come participate in the conversation! https://t.co/gahaQ8PUs6

Learners are going to need new skills every few years to keep up with the changing work environment. They will need "skills booster shots" to keep advancing and thriving says @rwmichelle #ACE2019PHILLY #RobotReady #highered #futureofwork

Fantastic Pathbreakers on Income Share Agreement (ISAs). Best point: access to a degree should not be about "whether you qualify for a loan (based on the past), it's about how much you will earn in the future." Real innovation @bpbrosseau and @VemoEd! https://t.co/of8COZW9wI
