  1. Love the fact that this student response system (IPAL) allows for text responses and not just multiple choice!
  2. At an Experience IT session to learn from Eckerd College about their in class polling system.. An NGLC project!
  3. @ricetopher That's a great point! Agree it doesn't have to be either/or but that we have to make our contribution to outcomes more apparent!
  4. Mehaffey, two things must be at the heart of change: focus on outcomes, shift to collective faculty role #serc12
  5. If we are entering a post-course era, what is the role of the institution? Facilitator? Designer? Guide? Assessor? Great question. #serc12
  6. Mehaffey just referenced the UCF/AASCU Blended Learning Toolkit: ow.ly/bfzMv So proud they are an NGLC grantee! #serc12
  7. Mehaffey: We keep investing in OER and touting it but more people need to actively seek out and use OER #serc12
  8. Mehaffey: For today's big problems, a single expert is not enough -- we need to leverage the network of knowledge #serc12
  9. Key opportunities: crowdsourcing, curation, networked knowledge #serc12
  10. It all boils down to: how do we educate more students with greater learning outcomes at lower costs? #serc12 (Sounds like our Wave III RFP!)
  11. Other challenges 4 hi ed: student debt, lack of rigor, lack of focus on deeper learning skills, too many students do not complete #serc12
  12. Higher ed is losing the battle for public opinion - people believe more focused on business model than learning outcomes #serc12
  13. Listening to George Mehaffey detail challenges 4 higher ed: not enough graduates, unsustainable institutions, broken funding model #serc12
  14. Finished up a great breakfast and discussion with grantees. Now... NGLC update session! Come learn about Wave III in Salon G! #serc12
  15. About to "meet up" with some of our Wave I grantees in Tampa at #serc12. Looking forward to hearing about their work!
  16. Love iCivics as the "great equalizer!" RT @jeff_curley See iCivics in action across Waco Independent School District youtu.be/Ut4KEdhfJzo
  17. Nice piece @ importance of engaging teachers in analytics. Only powerful if they help design/digest: ow.ly/bdIw6 @educationweek
