In the digital, networked era, faculty are at various stages in the technology adoption spectrum: some are visionary edTech enthusiasts, others are technology skeptics, while many see the potential technology brings to teaching and learning but are reluctant to change. How can institutions leverage this diversity to create a culture of eLearning that supports student learning, inspires faculty, and recognizes organizational barriers that may impede change?
“I attended an OLC Collaborate about a year and a half ago in Los Angeles and had many wonderful takeaways from the experience. My recent blog post shares some of these with you and provides a glimpse into the presentation I am planning.”

Today’s higher education institutions are tackling an array of challenges from waning state funding and calls for greater accountability to overcoming issues of access for all learners. At the same time, these institutions are embracing transformative opportunities aligned with their vision and mission.
In a recently released study of chief academic officers (Jaschik and Lederman, 2017), Inside Higher Ed asked provosts about strategies on which they plan to increase emphasis. Eighty-two percent said expanding online programs and offerings was such a strategy. Provosts at public institutions (86%) were more likely to respond this way than those at private institutions (77%).
Building, sustaining, and growing a culture of eLearning on a campus is multi-faceted. This session will unpack those realities through a number of different lenses.

In this presentation, we will share promising examples of digital learning from diverse institutions across the US. Digital learning isn’t being used to drive more students through courses– it is being used as a tool to meet the student’s needs of flexibility, access, and support. We will focus on student-centered learning and using technology to support better teaching practices, better interventions, and better feedback for students. Adaptive platforms, OER, and active learning are just a few of the examples herein that we’ve included to show how high-tech and high-touch scaled digital learning can be.

An increasingly popular phrase in education circles, ‘Personalized Learning’ conjures very different images in the minds of K-12 teachers and curriculum specialists, higher education faculty and administrators, education technology developers, and especially today’s students. In the gap between our present-day teaching practices and a future with better data-informed instruction that is tailored to the needs of individual learners, educators and institutions struggle to make sound decisions about pedagogical reform, content adoption, and technology use. Join Meaghan Duff as she discusses the variety of approaches postsecondary institutions are using to personalize learning and shares her perspective on how education technology products may evolve to meet the needs of contemporary college students and their instructors.
For the past year, Dr. Duff has been working with large public research universities to implement adaptive courseware, one form of personalized learning, at institution scale in high enrollment, introductory-level courses. Participants in this session will learn how these schools are engaging faculty in efforts to personalize learning and supporting them through the process of changing their approach to classroom instruction, selecting digital tools, and measuring the impact on student performance. Following the presentation, Dr. Duff will facilitate a conversation with the audience guided by participant questions and comments.

What will teaching, learning, and working in the Digital Age of Higher Education actually be like in the future? How much should today’s faculty and administrators do to prepare for this future? There is no question that extraordinary change is coming. The question is, how much of that change is within our powers of prediction, and how should we proactively prepare for the future?
Participate in the regional OLC Collaborate discussion on the “Changing University” and share in an open dialogue with other colleagues from around the region.
Keynote speakers will offer insightful views of the changing university through short, focused presentations. This will bring together how the use of technologies, the dictate of economic realities, increasing regulatory oversight, the need for constant innovation, and new societal expectations of what colleges can and should be are bringing change to higher education.
Presentations will be followed by facilitator-led discussions to allow participants to delve into each topic in greater detail. OLC Collaborate session archivists will document the discussions throughout the day, culminating in a collaborate regional response to the changing university.
