Résultat de recherche d'images pour By Alex Usher. My reputation in Canadian higher education, for better or for worse, is that of being “the guy who knows what’s going on in other places”.  This credits me with a lot more knowledge than I actually have. But it does occasionally prompt people to ask me some interesting questions. More...

Non-profit Islands in a For-Profit Ocean

Résultat de recherche d'images pour By Alex Usher. One of the most irritating, head-bangingly simplistic slogans in Canadian politics is “no to for-profit healthcare”.  It’s one thing to suggest that there should be no financial barriers to accessing healthcare; it’s another to suggest getting rid of “profit”.  I mean, the entire system is based on profit.

Personalized Learning at Law Schools

Adaptive Learning Fails to Make the Grade. Or Does It?!

By . First of all, what is our standard of proof? A good half of my column is devoted to the methodological challenges of doing big meta-studies like this one. It’s really hard to (ethically) control the variables across multiple classrooms well enough to get a clean result. SRI had to throw out most of the data they had for some measures. More...
