Spring 2021 UCLA Quarter in Washington Program OrientationCarol Ann Wald
Welcome to the spring 2021 UCLA Quarter in Washington Program! This brief slide presentation covers important information about the program schedule, enrollment, and your internship search. Please review it and refer back to it as needed.
The document summarizes a presentation on access to tertiary education in California and New York. It discusses financial access through an analysis of tuition, student aid, and barriers. It also examines enrollment environments and support for in-state students. Finally, it outlines several state-sponsored programs in each location aimed at increasing access, such as initiatives to make college more affordable and align education with workforce needs.
The document discusses factors contributing to declining college enrollment rates in the United States. It identifies several steps in the college application process that students often fail to complete, such as taking entrance exams, applying for financial aid, and forming specific enrollment plans. These incomplete steps disproportionately affect low-income and minority students who lack guidance through the process. The document proposes solutions like continued counseling support, new outreach programs, and marketing campaigns to increase awareness and encourage students. The overall message is that simplifying and clarifying the steps can help boost enrollment by supporting more students through the entire application process.
The Evolution of Faculty and Expertise in Higher EducationLisa Johnson, PhD
Lisa Johnson presented on the evolution of faculty roles and expertise in higher education from 1956 to 2016. Technological advances have led to the unbundling of traditional faculty responsibilities and the increased distribution of expertise. Faculty were once scarce and highly esteemed, but now expertise is more widely available through online resources and adjunct faculty are more common. Discussions are needed on how these changes impact quality of learning and satisfaction for all involved in higher education.

Mac 2014 Poster: UNC Health Sciences Library Partners with Community CollegesBrenda Linares
The Health Sciences Library at UNC-Chapel Hill partnered with two community colleges to assess the geriatric education needs of nursing students. They surveyed 165 students and 16 faculty members. The majority of students used Google, MedlinePlus, PubMed and Wikipedia for research. Based on the results, the library will create interactive online tutorials on geriatric topics incorporating case studies and simulation tools. They received further funding to develop these tutorials.
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of faculty-led study abroad programs. It notes that faculty get to travel while giving students an alternative to semester-long programs and adding a global perspective. However, it also warns of potential issues like lost luggage, injuries, cultural misunderstandings, students getting lost or having interpersonal issues. When problems occur, the faculty are responsible. Other drawbacks include being available 24/7 and the intensity of student relationships. Despite challenges, it can be rewarding to see new places through students' eyes and build close connections with them.
This article examines cheating in examinations at two Polish higher education institutions based on discussions with students. Students cheat for reasons such as too many exams, poor invigilation, and inconsistent grading. Cheating is seen as socially acceptable by some students because they do not respect authority figures due to Poland's past. The theoretical framework is that schools are social organizations. The article concludes that cheating hinders accurate assessment of students and that a new culture promoting ethical learning needs to be developed.
1) The document discusses a partnership program between The Evergreen State College and Grays Harbor College aimed at increasing success and retention of minority students in higher education.
2) The program provides a coordinated online and in-person curriculum for Native American students across Washington state and has resulted in improved completion, retention, and transfer rates compared to national averages.
3) Key aspects of the successful program include a hybrid online/in-person model, wrap-around support services, culturally relevant course content, and ongoing evaluation and improvement.
1) African universities perform poorly in global university rankings due to limited research output and visibility, as well as lack of institutional repositories and researchers.
2) Factors negatively affecting African university performance include low publication rates, limited postgraduate programs and supervision, and poor infrastructure such as unequipped libraries and laboratories.
3) While ICTs provide opportunities to increase research visibility and collaboration, African universities still face challenges including high digital content costs, limited bandwidth, and skills shortages.
The document discusses weaknesses common to higher education websites, current trends to overcome these weaknesses, and opportunities for the University of Nevada, Reno website. It identifies that higher education websites often have similar designs that could benefit from better organization to reduce information overload and maximize user time and conversions. Current trends incorporate innovative designs from other industries and deliver authentic social and interactive content desired by new generations. The University of Nevada, Reno's website could improve student life, degrees, and admissions pages by adding more student-generated content and social elements and providing additional relevant information to users.
This document discusses challenges and best practices for career support of international students. It notes that the US welcomed over 819,000 international students in 2012-2013. Primary concerns for these students include cultural and language barriers, navigating employment regulations, and competing with domestic students. Career counselors face challenges like utilizing services and uncertain post-graduation plans. Best practices include targeted outreach, job preparation workshops, collaboration across campus, and education on immigration policies to better prepare international students for the US job market and fulfill institutional missions. Further research is needed, especially quantitative studies measuring international student placement outcomes.
1) Adjunct professors have an uncertain and low-paying position, with over 60% working multiple jobs to make ends meet. Despite financial difficulties, adjunct positions have risen dramatically from 25% to over 40% of higher education staff since 1975 while tenure-track positions have grown more slowly.
2) Dr. Laura Gifford taught as an adjunct at George Fox University from 2007-2015, despite being well-respected and having a PhD and published works. However, low pay and lack of benefits made continuing financially unfeasible, forcing her to leave.
3) Adjuncts typically earn $20,000-25,000 annually, just above minimum wage. While cheaper for
The study found no significant differences in achievement between online and traditional students. However, online students had higher dropout rates early in the semester due to technology hurdles, while attrition was more gradual for in-person students. Potential reasons for higher online attrition included students not adjusting to self-paced learning, courses being more rigorous than anticipated, and a lack of experience with the online format among both students and faculty.
The document discusses proposals to help struggling American students and schools. It suggests simplifying grant application processes to get money to schools more quickly. It also proposes consequences for schools that fail standardized tests for multiple years in a row, ranging from allowing student transfers to reconstructing the entire school. Additionally, it notes criticisms of solely using standardized tests and argues for recognizing different student learning styles and cultural backgrounds.

Study of Online Student Persistence in SUNY
Research proposal problem statement:
SUNY's DOODLE group has conducted a multi-year study of student persistence, attrition, and success with online courses. Overall, the rates of attrition are similar among the DOODLE institutions as are success rates which is interesting in itself given the institutions are often quite different in size, number of courses offered online, and in demographic make-up. SUNY and its DE faculty often consider the attrition rate outcomes to be high, and indeed, compared to research such as the National Community College Benchmark study, SUNY's rates are high - typically 5% or greater in similar categories of measurement (higher attrition = not a favorable outcome). In other words, SUNY looks normative compared 'to itself' and appears as an underperformer when compared to aggregate institutions participating in the NCCB study. (DOODLE has less than 20 institutions participating in its persistence study; NCCB has over 200.) While the reasons for such a gap may be simple, such as survey criteria being different, explaining the phenomenon is important as SUNY faculty look at 'national' outcomes and deduce (perhaps quite incorrectly) that SUNY (and their own SUNY college) are doing a bad job of both attracting and keeping students in online courses toward successful outcomes.
* The affected population are SUNY students enrolled in online and blended courses.
* The target 'population' are SUNY colleges and university centers who are members of Directors of Online and Distance Learning (DOODLE) and also any SUNY institutions that become members of DOODLE. (All offer fully online and/or blended modalities of mediated teaching and learning at course and/or program levels to enrolled students, typically using a commercial or open-source CMS/LMS platform)

International Students and Mental Health Problemsmaymayli
International students face increased stress from logistical challenges of relocating to a new country for school and transitioning to an unfamiliar academic system and culture. Some institutions lack support systems and flexibility that could help international students succeed. Stories from students describe facing unrealistic expectations, poor supervision, inability to pursue their own research interests, and inflexible programs that did not accommodate visa delays or health issues, leading to financial and psychological stress and even suicide in some cases.
This research proposal aims to study factors that affect retention rates among non-traditional adult learners of African descent in higher education. The researcher will use a concurrent mixed methods approach to explore personal, social, and academic factors through a survey and interviews of 300 students at a historically black college. The study aims to determine if academic support programs and family educational background relate to retention and graduation rates. Results could inform the development of credit and non-credit programs to better engage and support adult male learners of African descent.

Intranasal corticosteroids are considered the optimal first-line treatment for allergic rhinitis. They are more effective than oral antihistamines, intranasal antihistamines, cromolyn sodium, or decongestants. Allergic rhinitis is diagnosed based on symptoms, allergy testing, and ruling out other causes of nasal congestion and drainage. Treatment involves identification and avoidance of allergens, intranasal corticosteroids, oral antihistamines, and immunotherapy for persistent or severe cases.

This document outlines a proposed Cultural Transition Development Theory for international students studying in the United States. The theory consists of 4 stages: 1) Needs vs. Opportunity, where students identify opportunities in the US and intend to act; 2) Research, where students select a school and make plans; 3) Conflict, where language, cultural, and social barriers lead to shock as reality differs from expectations; and 4) Integration, where students begin to integrate new ideas and aspects of culture into their identity. The document provides examples from interviews of international students' experiences that illustrate stages of the theory. It identifies limitations and proposes future research such as a longitudinal study.
This study examined how to better engage transfer and native students in internships and co-curricular activities to support career preparation. The author conducted a large-scale survey of 609 students from 53 mass communication programs, as well as interviews and focus groups. Results showed that transfer students participated in internships and co-curricular activities at lower rates than native students. Students suggested hosting career fairs and transfer student events to share opportunities. Faculty should promote opportunities and serve as advisors. Both students and faculty have roles to play in involvement. The study aims to further examine involvement theory and identify best practices.
Advisers as Advocates for Study AbroadJulie Larsen
This document discusses the importance of advisors advocating for study abroad programs and helping students integrate their international experiences.

New Models for Credit-Bearing Information Literacy Coursesleederk
This document summarizes a webinar on new models for credit-bearing information literacy courses. The webinar included presentations from librarians at Boise State University and University at Buffalo. At Boise State, the library course evolved from a self-paced online course to include collaborative projects between the library and writing program. A key collaboration was the PoWeR program, which paired the library course with a writing course. Assessment found student research skills improved through this collaboration. At Buffalo, the library course uses case studies and has expanded to include discipline-specific sections to target different academic programs. The webinar discussed factors driving changes in library instruction and different approaches to credit-bearing information literacy courses.
The first study examined students' perceptions of integrating online learning modules into traditional classroom courses. A survey was administered to students in an elective course and a required course. The results showed that students in the elective course rated the online modules more positively and had higher satisfaction than those in the required course.
The second non-comparative study investigated the relationships between student motivation, attitude, learning styles, and achievement in web-based courses. A learning styles test and online questionnaire were administered to 99 students taking two web-based courses. The results found that over two-thirds of students were independent learners and there were no differences in achievement between learning styles.

DLAC 2020 - State Of The Nation: K-12 e-Learning In CanadaMichael Barbour
Barbour, M. K., & LaBonte, R. (2020, February). State of the nation: K-12 e-learning in Canada. A poster presentation at the Digital Learning Annual Conference, Austin, TX.
The document discusses how online education is transforming colleges and universities in the United States. It begins by cautioning institutions not to "perfect the irrelevant" and to know what business they are in. It then provides statistics on internet and social media usage to illustrate how ready society is for online learning. Several studies are cited showing online and blended students perform equal or better than face-to-face students. Examples are then given of several universities that have experienced growth and strategic benefits from online education, including increased access, flexibility, and revenues. The document advocates for a focus on quality using a collaborative consortium approach.

AERA 2012 - A Case Study Examining the Perspectives of an At-Risk, Rural Stud...Michael Barbour
Barbour, M. K., & Siko, J. (2012, April). A case study examining the perspectives of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in virtual schooling. A paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Vancouver, BC.
A large population of virtual schooling students are defined as “at-risk.” However, there is little research that focuses on the experiences of these students. This case study, based on interviews and video observations of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in an online course, brings light to some of these experiences. The student was good at prioritizing, often took the path of least resistance to achieve the minimum level of expectations, and demonstrated waning productivity during class. The student was also able to clearly express his thoughts on what was needed to succeed in an online course. As more rural students have to learn online, it is important to better understand how to design, deliver and support virtual schooling.

This document discusses the high cost of textbooks and its negative impact on student access and success. It notes that the average student spends $1,200-1,300 per year on textbooks, and that this cost barrier prevents some qualified students from completing college. Open textbooks are presented as a solution, as they are available for free or at low cost and can be adapted. The document outlines evidence that open textbooks improve access and affordability without compromising quality or learning outcomes. It also addresses barriers to faculty adoption and strategies for increasing awareness and use of open textbooks.

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.
