The unprecedented impact of Covid-19 on education systems around the world has affected more than 1.6 billion students representing 91% of all students in the world. World over Education is experiencing Non-Linear Changes.
COVID -19 has given a death blow to Higher Education by attacking the essential element of social connection on which the university and higher education system thrives forcing the world over all the universities within 7 to 10 days to go for online education. At the moment, universities are focused on ensuring academic continuity for students through “emergency remote teaching.”
The big question that arises is that will this Online Teaching be able to produce lasting change?

Academic Plan Executive Summary 091709Jenny Darrow
Executive Summary - This academic plan outlines the multi-dimensional efforts of Keene State College and the Division of Academic Affairs to achieve academic excellence. It comes at a time in history when it will not be enough for educational institutions to be known for the physical attributes of their campus or community, or the measures of the many inputs that historically have equated with status in the educational pecking order. Our stakeholders—students, parent, community, system and legislators—are demanding evidence of real educational outcomes, which are captured best in one overarching College strategic goal—achieving academic excellence. The institutions that rise to this new challenge will succeed and prosper, while those that do not will languish. While the Division of Academic Affairs at Keene State College has primary responsibility for meeting this challenge, our success will depend on the creative energies and hard work of the entire College community.
Employing talent, research and technology commercialization and providing resources for growth has now been augmented by the addition of the virtual world. This panel will explore how schools are adapting, developing and utilizing online learning as a tool to reach more students and create a richer worldwide platform.

Case StudyThis chapter provided a general summary of the missi.docxmichelljubborjudd
Case Study
This chapter provided a general summary of the mission of the community colleges in light of current and emerging trends facing these institutions (e.g., minority student initiatives, part-time faculty, bachelor’s degrees, and Obama administrations initiatives). Our goal has been to convey to leaders that all trends, in one way or another, relate directly to the mission of these institutions. These trends challenge community college leaders to serve as mavericks in realizing and advancing the mission of the community college.
Below, we present a case study that requires leaders to utilize their understanding of the historical, current, and future trajectory of these institutions in responding to a leadership dilemma. In addressing the case study scenario, pay particular attention to the role of emerging trends (presented in this chapter) in resolving the case. President Cathryn Addy Tunxis Community College Farmington, Connecticut Converging Issues as an Opportunity for Change Background Doe Community College, located in an eastern city of 100,000, was founded in 1952. It has an enrollment of 6,780 FTE (full-time equivalent) and a headcount enrollment of slightly over 8,000 in credit classes. Noncredit enrollment is around 3,000 annually. There are 100 full-time faculty who ← 286 | 287 → teach a 12 credit load on average, 280 adjunct faculty, and approximately 60 other professionals and administrators. There is one campus of approximately 300,000 square feet on 10 acres of land, and one satellite campus 50 miles away in a rural area that opened in a renovated high school 20 years ago. Doe CC is one of 14 publicly supported community colleges in the state but gets one-third of its funding locally, drawn proportionately from each of the 17 school districts in its service area. Another one-third comes from the state according to a long established allocation formula, and the remaining one-third comes from tuition, fees, and auxiliary income from grants, noncredit enrollments, and other enterprises such as the bookstore and a small restaurant on campus run by the culinary students. Over the last three years, the local districts have become more and more vocal about no longer being able to afford to provide funding to Doe, and have been threatening to withdraw from the partnership. The college has just been given an 18-month window in which to develop an alternate plan for the funding its needs at the local level. The state has made it clear that it does not intend to make up the difference, and has also limited the amount that can be raised from a tuition increase. Programmatically, Doe CC has always been strong in the applied technology and science areas, and its students have reflected that: 80 percent (60 percent male) are enrolled in Associate of Applied Science programs, while the remaining 20 percent (80 percent female) are in Associate of Arts program areas. Recently the college has struggled to maintain its enrollment levels ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
