This study aims to explore the relationships between higher order learning best practices and student satisfaction and success for adult learners in online higher education. It will examine how factors like faculty contact, student interactions, active learning, feedback, time on task, expectations, diversity, and technology usage impact satisfaction and success. A survey will be administered to undergraduate online students at a Midwestern university to determine the correlations between these independent and dependent variables. The results could help administrators, faculty, and instructional designers improve the quality of online education for adult learners.

The session will include a brief overview of the statistical trends in part-time admissions to HE, a presentation on the approaches used in Aimhigher to track learners and the impact of Aimhigher interventions on their progress and discussion of research methods and the uses of data for targeting.
Questions will be raised about the ways in which researchers and practitioners frame an oppositional discourse and could do things differently.
Discussion groups will include:
• Trend data in part-time applicants and entrants.
• Taking the evidence from Aimhigher - how could/does this translate into research?

Optimistic About the Future, But How Well Prepared? College Students' Views o...Robert Kelly
Key findings from survey among 400 employers and 613 college students conducted in November and December 2014 for The Association of American Colleges and Universities by Hart Research Associates.
From November 13 to December 3, 2014, Hart Research conducted an online survey on behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities among 613 college students—all of whom were ages 18 to 29 and within a year of obtaining a degree, or in the case of two-year college students, within a year of obtaining a degree or transferring to a four-year college. These students included 304 four-year public college seniors, 151 four-year private college seniors, and 158 community college students who plan to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
Prior to the survey, in September 2014, Hart Research conducted three focus groups among current college students. One group was convened in Waltham, Massachusetts, among seniors at private four-year colleges and universities. Two groups were held in Dallas, Texas—one group among seniors at public four-year colleges and universities and another group among students at community colleges who expect to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
The focus groups and survey were undertaken to explore college students’ views on what really matters in college, including what learning outcomes are most important to them personally and for their future success. The research also explored current college students’ sense of the job market today, their confidence in being able to secure a job, and how effectively they think that their college learning has prepared them for this. The research was designed to understand the learning outcomes students believe are most important to acquire to be able to succeed in today’s economy and how well they feel that their college or university has prepared them in these areas. It also explored their participation in various applied and project-based learning experiences, as well as their perceptions of the degree to which employers value these experiences when hiring recent college graduates.
The survey of college students was conducted in tandem with a survey of 400 employers, and explored many of the same topics to provide a comparison between these two audiences.
This report highlights key findings from the research among college students. Selected comparisons with employers are included where relevant. A report of selected findings from the survey of employers was released by AAC&U in January 2015.

Achieving a 90 percent Graduation Rate: A Path Back to High School for Boston...America's Promise Alliance
The GradNation campaign invites you to join a webinar on December 13th, 2018 from 3:00 – 4:15 p.m. ET that dives deeply into the Youth Re-engagement area.
Six percent of the class of 2016 did not graduate from high school and was not enrolled in a program to graduate. Though these young people have the potential to graduate, they have not completed school and lack a clear pathway to finish. Re-engagement centers have emerged as a successful way to locate youth aged 16 to 24 who have left the traditional school system and connect them to effective educational options and other services, so they can attain a high school diploma or GED.
In this webinar, we will hear from the National League of Cities on the re-engagement landscape and learn from The Boston Re-Engagement Center and their success in bringing young people back to earn their diplomas. We will define re-engagement and its importance, discuss barriers youth face in returning to education, and describe the strategies to re-engage students. We will also hear from young people served by the Boston Re-Engagement Center.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

rates
8. Statement of the Problem
The number of online undergraduate students taking at
least one class has grown to 32% in 2012 (Allen &
Seaman, 2012).
Yet according to the Sloan Consortium Survey, two-thirds
of faculty members expressed the belief that learning
outcomes for online courses are inferior or somewhat
inferior to face-to-face courses (Allen & Seaman, 2012).
Researchers propose the need for faculty to receive
advanced pedagogical knowledge and skills to assure
students receive the same quality of education.

Editor's Notes
Students in the 21st Century are competing in a global economy. In the information age, the competitive job market requires specific training and higher education degrees.
To meet this education information job market demand, the United States has initiated Goal 2020. The overarching goal of 2020 is to raise the percentage of degree achieving adults from 40% to 60%.
To accomplish this goal, a three part plan addresses the college readiness factors, the high cost of college tuition and ensuring best practices.
In order to pursue degree attainment, adult learners need a higher education degree to be affordable, accessible, and flexible which makes online learning a new and powerful avenue for degree achievement.
Online education numbers are far surpassing face-to-face programs. Some of the advantages to meeting student needs…
