This is Part 2 of the workshop pair
In these unprecedented times, the face of higher education is rapidly changing, and our learning centers must adapt to find ways to help our students (the privileged and underprivileged) engage effectively with technology. The realities of how we support students and the services we offer them must adapt to the current shifts to online learning in their content courses. We must expand upon existing online services and/or develop new ones. We must also support/train our staff members to manage the new ways in which our learning centers must operate.
Learning centers professionals are going to have to think of ways to deliver services 100% online. We need to think about our staff (students and professionals) and how we train them as well as the ways in which we engage our students who might be struggling with the demands of shifting to new modes of learning.

Say Aloha to Student Success: Using Non-Cognitive Data to Impact the JourneySmarterServices Owen
This webinar discusses student success, what role non cognitive attributes play, and spotlights best practices using SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator assessment
What is the ultimate measure of our effectiveness as educators? Perhaps it is enrollment growth at our institution. Maybe it is retention rates of students. Could it be graduation rates of cohorts? Possibly it is average scores on major field tests. While all of those are worthwhile metrics to measure, consider employer satisfaction with our graduates as a key performance indicator of our effectiveness.
Internal metrics are absolutely important to utilize as we continually improve our programs. But ultimately graduating students is not the goal, it is merely a means to an end. The ultimate goal is to develop students who possess the attributes, knowledge and skills to be a professional in their chosen field.
Is your institution/program measuring employer satisfaction with your graduates? Is there dialogue taking place between persons serving on curriculum development committees and employers about the competencies needed in the workforce?
Dr. Mac Adkins has an uncommon perspective as both an educator and employer. He holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from Auburn University, has served as a Dean at a state institution and a private, for-profit institution, and has taught on-campus and online for the past twenty years at Troy University, Capella University, Amridge University and the International Distance Education Certification Center. In addition to that academic background for fourteen years he has served as the CEO and Founder of SmarterServices which provides assessment services to over 500 colleges and universities. He has served on curriculum development committees at the program level as well as the state level as he was one of the authors of the Alabama Course of Study in Technology Education.
In this presentation Dr. Adkins will share his combined perspective from higher education and corporation leadership. SmarterServices employs persons in positions that require degrees in business, marketing, and computer science. He will reflect on lessons learned as an employer in seeking candidates who have been thoroughly prepared in their collegiate experience. Recommendations will be made on how schools can enhance the dialogue between employers and program developers to ensure that our graduates are competent and capable.

Dr. Mac Adkins is the President of Smarter Services, which provides the SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator. This 124-item online assessment measures student attributes, learning styles, life factors, skills, and typing ability to predict student success. Over 500 colleges and universities use SmarterMeasure, which has been taken by over 2.2 million students since 2002. Studies have found statistically significant relationships between SmarterMeasure scores and student achievement, engagement, retention, and satisfaction. For example, less than 10% of students with low scores on skills, resources, and time management experienced academic success. SmarterMeasure can predict engagement and satisfaction levels with 93% accuracy using a composite of several scale scores
This analysis assessed the relationship between students' scores on an English proficiency exam and their success in orientation courses, general academic performance, and retention at a regionally accredited university. The analysis found that students with higher English proficiency scores performed better in orientation courses, had higher passing rates in their first two courses, earned better grades on writing assignments, and were more likely to progress to subsequent courses. In particular, students scoring below 15/50 on the exam struggled with writing assignments and course completion, suggesting these students could benefit from interventions to improve their English skills.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
