Working Group #5: Foster a Positive Work Environment for Faculty and Staff
Working Group #6: Have a Meaningful Impact on the Commonwealth and the Community
This presentation investigates the characteristics of an online graduate degree program in library and information studies (LIS), and its unusual success in retaining students to degree conferral. It has been reported for more than a dozen years that attrition rates for distance education programs are higher than for those programs in which instruction is delivered face to face. In the present study an online master's degree program in LIS that has maintained an overall retention rate higher than 90 percent over five successive entering classes is examined for explanatory characteristics. These characteristics are described and compared with attributes that the literature relates to retention success. Mapping the characteristics of our LIS program to the factors for retention requires description of specific implementations of the program design. We detail the factors and activities recommended for student retention and provide a summary of the activities inherent in the implementation our successful LIS program. Additional question for investigation are identified.

Enabling and enhancing student learning and support through technologyJisc
A presentation from Connect More 2020 by Peter Francis, deputy vice-chancellor, Northumbria University.
In recent months universities have rapidly implemented significant and often unplanned changes to the ways in which education is delivered. In large part, the nature of such changes will be temporary, although the significance of such changes may be longer lasting.
But this has also allowed universities to explore opportunities that otherwise may not have been considered. One can foresee that many universities will need to focus more time and energy on their approach to technology for student learning, and as a result their digital leadership. Yet technology on its own is not the solution; it is an enabler.
In this session Peter will reflect briefly on his own institution's journey towards technology-enhanced learning and support, one that encompasses a broad array of technological developments, and involved many colleagues and students, the aim of which is the delivery of a high-quality and inclusive student experience for all.

Blackboard Analytics for Learn @JCU – a proactive approach to the use of data...Blackboard APAC
Committed to providing a supportive and safe educational environment that fosters student engagement and success, James Cook University (JCU) has taken a proactive approach to the use of data in a dual-pronged approach to improve the student experience and curriculum design. Blackboard Analytics for Learn is a key tool within these initiatives. Analytics for Learn provides real-time data that can be used by staff in a variety of roles to support student success. This presentation will outline how JCU is adapting Analytics for Learn, including discussion of initial customisations made to 'out-of-the-box' reports and the development of personalised dashboards, as well as providing an overview of the coordinated approach to the staged 'roll-out' and adoption of reports and dashboards.

Changing current practice to meet the needs of learners and societyJisc
A presentation from Connect More by Dale Clancy, independent learning specialist, Borders College.
Pre-COVID alterations to the way that the electrical apprenticeship has been delivered, in a remote wide reaching area, has brought around positives in student engagement, skills and achievement during the current crisis.
Teaching and learning has had to be adapted across the world, but in most cases assessment has not or has been less flexible. Is there a case now to alter the way learners are assessed now more than ever?
This session briefly highlights the tools used to engage learners, skills they have developed, and obstacles in assessment which could be adopted to suit modern learners and society in both theory and practical environments.

• Changing Trends in Higher Education
globally and regionally in the Pacific
• Causes, Effects and Issues
• Implications

3. Abstract
In this 21st Century, universities around the world are no longer
operate the way they were several decades ago. The changes in
higher education operational strategies, governance structure,
leadership and administration style, recruitment of academic staff
and students, designing and delivery of programs just but to name
a few, are reflections of the trends which higher education are
facing . The impact of the change trends’ forces and expectations
can continuously pressure universities to work more proactively
and strategically to the rising demands that either fit or not in
their expected roles as research and teaching entities. Therefore,
the aim of this presentation is to briefly analyse the changing
trends higher education are experiencing globally and regionally
and then discuss implications on individual group member’s own
courses.
4. Changing Trends in Higher Education,
globally and regionally
Trend 1: Globalisation &Internationalisation
• International connection and integration
of countries through
economic trade, fast transportation means,
flow of technology and
accepting other people’s
values has enabled
open access and
the acceptance of a variety
of students from different
countries to do studies at universities world wide.
5. Changing Trends in Higher Education,
globally and regionally
Trend 2: Open and Distance Learning
• The introduction of ODL has embraced by higher education as a
way of attracting international students and enabling the less
privilege to get access to universities. It also promotes branding
and specialty of universities at international market
• Worldwide growth
and demand access to
higher education has
enabled universities
to consider also
offering courses
through ODL
6. Changing Trends in Higher Education,
globally and regionally
Trend 3: Increasing Information and
Communication Technology Access
• The introduction of the internet and the use of moodle and other
learning softwares
had enabled students
who cannot physically access
higher education to do higher
studies online.
• Today more sophisticated
ICT softwares are used by
universities to help in the delivery of their
programs world wide. It can make
learning both exciting and
challenging too.
7. Changing Trends in Higher Education,
globally and regionally
Trend 4: Quality, Accountability &
Qualification Frameworks
• Students’ accessibility to higher education from around the globe had posed
critical questions some of which are related to: 1. the provision of best
knowledge and skills required for and by students,
• 2.who is going to be answerable to the provision of qualifications and ,
• 3.what frameworks should be form the basis in learning a particular program.
All these come down to the quest for ethical practices and social
advancement of humans.
8. Changing Trends in Higher Education,
globally and regionally
Trend 5: Demand of 21st Century’s Knowledge
and Skills, and Curricula and
Pedagogical Reforms
• With the increase demand of students to possess the 21st Century knowledge
and skills in areas such as: critical thinking, communication skills, ICT literacy,
team work and others, pedagogical strategies in higher education are
improving through the use of ICT tools to produce students with necessary
knowledge and skills of the 21st Century.
• The use of ICT tools to enhance learning and knowledge creation is now at the
forefront of tertiary teaching either when delivering programs at the face to
face, the blended or the full online mode.
• The demand for a timely exit of students with the necessary knowledge and
skills is a related issue.
9. ICT Samples of Global and Regional changing trends in
Higher Education
10. Causes, Effects and Issues
Causes
• Increased students’ demand & Rise of Knowledge Economy
• Competitiveness
• ICT tools and soft-wares
Effects
• Rise of Private Institutions
• Movements of Academics & Students

for higher education)
• Abreast with knowledge about e-learning
• Make an initiative to take University of the South Pacific staffs’
moodle course
• Start to shift to practise using a ‘flip classroom’ mode when
delivering a course
• Involve with someone to co-ordinate an online course
• Start to individually deliver a course using a blended or full online
mode
• Continue to abreast with online learning software to improve
curricula design and course delivery
