Morehead State University and Ashland Community and Technical College signed an agreement to establish a 2+2 transfer program in space science. The program allows students to complete their first two years of coursework at ACTC before transferring to MSU to finish their bachelor's degree. The agreement outlines the specific courses students need to take at each institution to complete the program. Both schools will work together to ensure required courses are offered and the program can be finished in a reasonable time while keeping content relevant to industry standards.

RUN: Maths and Science Digital ClassroomMike KEPPELL
Young people considering a career in maths and
science will be fascinated by the Digital Classroom.
The virtual space is designed to inspire young minds
to the endless possibilities offered by a career as a
scientist or mathematician. Via the Digital Classroom,
Year 9 & 10 students will be able to explore the universe,
swim with the whales, discover more about the human
body, get involved with climate change, track Bessie
the cow and make their own cheese! The opportunities
and resources are endless and are available online or,
if internet access is a challenge, as stand-alone resources.
Internationally recognised scientists and mathematicians
based in regional universities around Australia share
their enthusiasm and experience with schools nationally
through the Digital Classroom and love to answer
questions puzzling curious minds.
Description
Next Generation Science Standards identifies the science all K-12 students should know. These new standards are based on the National Research Council's A Framework for K-12 Science Education. The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve have partnered to create standards through a collaborative state-led process. The standards are rich in content and practice and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education.
Establishing an equitable and fair admissions systemPatrick Lowenthal
The field of Educational Technology has seen marked growth from just a small number of distance-based doctoral programs to nearly 20 today. Creating and sustaining a quality doctoral program of any kind requires a substantial amount of work; the additional challenges of online programs both increases and changes the nature of the efforts required. Among these challenges is creating an admissions process that treats people fairly, does not create a burdensome system for applicants or those involved in the selection process, and ensures the selection of a solid foundation of high quality candidates with whom faculty can mentor, who add value to the program, and who can benefit from the program. This paper explores common admissions requirements among institutions offering a distance or hybrid doctorate in Educational Technology and examines the specific admissions system used by the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University.

Space Science
Transfer Agreement
with Ashland
Community and
Technical College
Oct. 22, 2014 - Morehead State
University and Ashland Community and
Technical College teamed up to make an
agreement last Friday, Oct. 17 to
establish a transfer program between
them in the field of Space Science.
The new agreement was co-signed by
MSU president Dr. Wayne D. Andrews,
and ACTC president and CEO Dr. Kay
Adkins, who performed the deed in the
Rocky Adkins Pavilion on the
Technology Drive campus.
"Space Science is an exciting high-tech
field of the future," said Dr.
Adkins. "This collaboration with MSU
will provide our students with an
additional option for continuing their
education in the region."
In this 2+2 transfer program, students
will be able to complete two years of
study at ACTC before being allowed to
transfer into the Bachelor of Science
degree program in Space Science at
MSU. The agreement of the two
universities thoroughly lists the specific
ACTC and MSU courses required to
attain a bachelor’s degree with this
method, with freshman and sophomore
level courses assigned to be finished at
ACTC and the upper-level junior and
senior courses to be completed at MSU.
ACTC and MSU will continue to
collaborate and assist each other to
develop and deliver the required courses
so that the program may be concluded in
an understandable amount of time. The
two universities will also look and
review the agreement routinely to ensure
that the course content accurately
reflects industry developments,
accreditation guidelines, and
employment trends.
"We are pleased to be partnering
with ACTC to help more students
succeed in college. We are answering
the challenge to remove barriers which
make it difficult for many ACTC alumni
to finish a four-year degree," said Dr.
Andrews. "Our Space Science program
is one of five in the United States to
offer a bachelor's degree in space
science and has some outstanding
students enrolled. We value our
partnership with ACTC and look
forward to making it simpler for students
to convert their associate degrees and
two additional years of study into a
bachelor’s degree."
