Customer Service and Non-Traditional Higher Ed: Committing to the Concierge Model
By Brent Chrite - EvoLLLution. The concierge model of customer service—which should more aptly be named student service for universities—really emanates from private industry, the tourism industry more specifically.

The Case for Alternative Credentials: Identifying and Avoiding Hurdles to Innovation
By David Schejbal - EvoLLLution. For decades, the higher education credentialing system has been a monolithic edifice impervious to alternatives. Associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees reign supreme. Higher education institutions and other providers have developed certificates, CEUs and a smattering of other credentials, but few have any market value. More...
