Home and away

By G. Rendell. If your institution has signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (or, perhaps,even if it hasn't), somebody on your campus periodically inventories greenhouse gas emissions. Technically, there are six "Kyoto gases" that should be inventoried, but for most campuses only three really matter -- carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. So the short answer to "what gases do you inventory?" is a three-item list. But the longer answer, and the more complex one, is more important. Read more...

Getting the Most from a MOOC

By Nate Sleeter - Higher Ed Beta. When MOOCs are contrasted with traditional residential courses, such comparisons are often based on individual components (video vs. live lectures, online forums vs. classroom discussion, multiple-choice tests vs. graded papers, etc.).

On Being Alone

By Lee Skallerup Bessette. It's been almost a full week that I've been home alone, without the family. We've also just moved, so I don't have many friends I can hang out with after work, either. And as most of my friends who are relatively close by are academics, they're mostly away, during the last bit of calm before the storm of the semester starts. Read more...

I always miss the interaction with faculty and students and I especially miss the energy that is omnipresent during the academic year. Read more...

Shared Among Whom?

By Matt Reed. Among whom should “shared governance” be shared? And how, exactly?
This week, IHE featured two articles on the subject, both of which rely on an assumption I find troubling. The first is a profile of the argument in a new book, The Rise and Decline of Faculty Governance, by Larry Gerber. Read more...
