By Julie Horschfeld Davis. President Obama on Friday pressed voters to demand that their representatives reach across the political aisle to pass initiatives in his budget including free community college, more generous child care subsidies and new roads and bridges, making the case for his agenda in a heavily Republican state.

FCC outlines proposal for strong network neutrality protections

By Stefanie Botelho. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Tom Wheeler last week announced the outlines of a proposal to protect network neutrality that, if approved, will have a significant impact on higher education institutions. The plan would regulate high-speed Internet service as a public utility under Title II of the Communications Act, the section of the law that regulates telecommunications and other services, instead of an information service.

Not In the Clear: Libraries and Privacy

By Barbara Fister. I’m one of those people who others probably call a privacy nut when I’m not listening. (Because I would never listen in – trust me! I’m a privacy nut!) I get really cranky when people tell me privacy is impossible today or if they claim that Young People Today don’t care about it, so get with the program (in which case I tell them to ask danah boyd about that. She’ll tell you it’s complicated.) I get testy when I advocate for privacy as a library value and other librarians say “yeah, but access is a value, too, and that's what patrons care about.

The Rise of the Student Affairs Digital Communicator

By Eric Stoller. Student affairs practitioners have to be good communicators. Whether in-person or online, quality communications is a must. With a historical foundation built upon the counseling and helping professions, higher education administrators have a background in face-to-face communication. In fact, it wasn't too long ago when most people in the profession were positioning in-person conversations as the preferred method of connecting with people. While face-to-face meetings are still prevalent, the rise of online learning and social media (sites and apps) has caused a digital communications evolution in student affairs. However, this transition into a blended communications model has not been without issue. When Facebook first came online in 2004, it was promptly labeled as a "space for students." It makes sense as the origins of "The Facebook" stem from a student driven enterprise. Read more...

Prezi logic

By G. Rendell. I do a fair amount of public speaking, to classes, community groups, administrative departments, you name it. I've been using presentation software since before there was a PowerPoint. (Anyone else remember Adobe (neé Aldus) Persuasion?) Typical presentation software is great for topical presentations which define an area of interest and then delve down into it. Read more...

Translating MOOCs

By Stella Li. In May 2014, former HarvardX research fellow Sergiy Nesterko created an interactive map that showed learner registrants hailing from 195 countries---and, yet, the majority of them came from English-speaking ones. The same pattern, no doubt, exists for other open online courses. More...

Take-Away From the Gates Report on Faculty

By Lee Skallerup Bessette. The Gates Foundation just released a really interesting report on Faculty Trends (PDF). The focus of the report, based on a robust amount of survey data and informed by a solid review of the literature, is professors’ adoption of technology in their teaching and what motivates them to adopt new approaches to their teaching. It’s a really informative report, especially from a faculty development perspective. Read more...

Data Privacy Month Shorts

By Tracy Mitrano. It’s Data Privacy Year from what I can tell, but let’s use this trope!
First, President Obama has proposed federal legislation on student data privacy. I will devote another blog to this issue down the road. For the moment, the higher education community should be prioritizing this matter with a focus on two areas: one, including higher education (at this point it is written for only K-12) and – this is important – two, making sure that the language is precise about the most critical issue of this entire conundrum: profiling.
