Is the Public Institution Business Model Viable in the Long Term?

By Javier Miyares - EvoLLLution. 3. In July, a UMUC advisory board suggested that one way to close the enrollment gap would be to convert UMUC to a non-profit, public business entity with defined ties to the University System of Maryland. How would this move benefit UMUC in the short term?

The role of communities of practice in a digital age

By Tony Bates. The basic premise behind communities of practice is simple: we all learn in everyday life from the communities in which we find ourselves. Communities of practice are everywhere. Nearly everyone belongs to some community of practice, whether it is through our working colleagues or associates, our profession or trade, or our leisure interests, such as a book club. Wenger (2000) argues that a community of practice is different from a community of interest or a geographical community in that it involves a shared practice: ways of doing things that are shared to some significant extent among members.

Six (Truly)Radical Ideas for Reinventing College

By Cathy Davidson. Before we can radically reinvent college, we need to add at least two more structural, material changes to the four in this month's Wired magazine article by writer Martha Rhodes, "4 Radical Ideas for Reinventing College, Drawn From Stanford Research."

I like these a lot--and readers of the Cat in the Stack posts at hastac.org will recognize all of them from many of my past posts. More...

LinkedIn Releases College Ranking Service

By Michael Feldstein. I have long thought that LinkedIn has the potential to be one of the most transformative companies in ed tech for one simple reason: They have far more cross-institutional longitudinal outcomes data than anybody else—including government agencies. Just about anybody else who wants access to career path information of graduates across universities would face major privacy and data gathering hurdles. But LinkedIn has somehow convinced hundreds of millions of users to voluntarily enter that information and make it available for public consumption. The company clearly knows this and has been working behind the scenes to make use of this advantage. I have been waiting to see what they will come up with. More...
