Surf's Up!: Thriving Among Chaos

By Katie Shives. It’s no secret that sometimes in graduate school it feels like everything can get really chaotic. As young professionals, we are expected to produce new research and ideas while taking courses, keeping up with committee meetings, and even teaching classes to other students, and it can easily become overwhelming.

Taking Charge of your Ph.D.

By Erin Bedford. Dear new grad student,
I’m writing to tell you something that I wish I had been told earlier. It’s something that we’re expected to know, something that seems obvious once you know it, but something that myself and many other grad students didn’t seem to know until well into our PhDs.

MOOCs and Bad Online Advertising

By Joshua Kim. Online advertising is terrible.
Not terrible in the sense that it is too bad that we have too much online advertising. Rather, online advertising is terrible because the ads are terrible.
The poor quality of online ads is not the online problem with streaming commercials, according to an interesting article, The Great Unwatched, in the NYTimes. It turns out that many streaming ads that are purchased by adverstisers are never even watched because of poor placement and fraud. Read more...

The Google Classroom Tease

By Joshua Kim. The announcement of Google Classroom will, as far as I can tell, have no relevance to anything that we are doing in higher ed.
This is a non-higher ed story.

6 Myths of the Flipped Classroom

By Joshua Kim. What percentage of your meetings is the word “flipped” mentioned?

Reading Between the Lions

By Barbara Fister. It’s big news: the New York Public Library has decided not to make the controversial renovation that had humans of New York and elsewhere riled up. The part that had me concerned was that the renovation was being sold as a rejuvenation of a research library by turning it into a combined circulating and research library which would be funded largely by selling two other libraries, the Mid-Manhattan library and SIBL (which not too long ago was a cutting-edge science and business library but, as so often happens to cutting edges had gotten a bit dull).

Seeing the Dog

By Matt Reed. Well, yes. But there’s a knowledge problem, and consequently, an incentive problem. Pierce wrote a terrific piece in IHE about the difficulties that thoughtful presidents face with faculty skeptics who simply refuse to believe that any challenges their campuses face have anything to do with external forces.

Competing with For-Profits

By Matt Reed. The news of SNHU’s College for America getting approval to offer bachelor’s degrees got me thinking. What would happen if community colleges were to take as an explicit goal competing with for-profits? We already do, in many ways, but it’s mostly incidental. We happen to go after some of the same populations, and offer some of the same programs. Read more...
