Introduction
Rethinking education and finding a path forward
The Ideal Learning Experience
= Better Outcomes and Retention
Education today...
Education is Evolving
One-Size Fits-All VS. Personalized
Constraints of the Traditional Model
No opportunity to learn from failure
Limited, untimely feedback provided
Access to post-mortem data
Instructor left to theorize what went wrong
Technology used primarily for reporting and administrative purposes
Course Content & Delivery Constraints
No data on how student is interacting with content
Limited insight on whether student comprehends content
No perspective on whether the student can apply the knowledge
No ability to identify what content is engaging
Limited ability to make content relevant and contextualized
Next Gen Learning: The Promise
Next Gen Learning helps the development of skills required to create value in
today’s workforce, such as:
- Critical Thinking
- Problem Solving
- Collaboration
- Communication
Opportunities for increased student engagement
Accessible content, such as Open Educational Resources (OER)
Real-time data that informs both teacher and student
The Ideal Learning Experience
= Better Outcomes and Retention
The Ideal Learning Experience
Engaging Experiences + More Relevant Data + Open Materials
= Better Outcomes and Retention
Reuse:
Content can be reused in its unaltered form
Retain:
Users have the right to make, archive, and “own” copies of the content
Revise:
Content can be adapted, adjusted, modified or altered
Remix:

OERs Can Be:
The Perks Of OER
● Next Gen learning environment
● Supports development of soft skills
● Enhanced formative assessments
● Embedded in-line interactives
● Comprehensive teacher dashboard
○ Aggregate data on course, section, and individual student performance levels
○ Calculates and export participation grades
Taking OER
to the Next Level
Academic freedom to enhance content:
Streamline content editing tools
Ability to insert rich media
Upload or link to supplemental resources
The Process
Adopt an open textbook – wholesale –
in place of a commercial textbook
Result: Little or no change in
student success
Aggregate best OER for each
learning objective to personalize
content for your students
Result: Modest change in
student success
Explore open pedagogy, additional
interactive activities, and redesign
assessment strategy
Result: Moderate to significant
change in student success

Like all institutions, we continue to work creatively to find solutions to
help online students make gains. Many of the recommendations being
implemented, however, affect more than just fully online students –
they potentially affect any student whose instructor uses a digital
platform.
Lumen provides high quality, vetted content with built in options for
strong pedagogical support on Day 1. What’s more, it is affordable for
students and easy for faculty to learn to use.
