8. Benefits of Higher Education

9. 21st century work rewards post-secondary education

10. Even more so for young people…

11. But participation in Higher Ed is not equally distributed

12. US producing fewer college graduates
Previously
Now

13. College is expensive for some…
College students and grads now hold over a trillion dollars in student loan debt. For some, MOOCs may one solution that seek to reduce the costs through cheaper forms of alternative credentialing. But if the plan relies on higher education as training for employment there are likely long term consequences for the vision of college and the goals and values of liberal education. And what about the quality of the experience? What does massive do to rigor?

14. Disproportionately the poor
If we hope to promote democratization we do need to address the issue of access to higher education here as well as in the developing world. Right now low income families and individuals are saddled with the majority of the student loan debt – which is concerning….

15. Public online education may be helpful

16. But only if it’s good…

17. But only if it’s good…
“There’s a strong body of evidence building up that students are not doing quite as well in online courses, at least as the courses are being designed now in the community college sector (Hart, 2015).”

19. But only if it’s good…

20. Questions Would SUNY community college students have better outcomes?
What about at your own college?
What about in your own courses?
What is the cause of the issue?
What are solutions?

21. Learning Presence

22. Learning presence John Hattie: Visible Learning
Review of 800 meta-analyses of education
“the biggest effects on student learning occur when… students exhibit self regulatory attributes...planning, monitoring, self evaluation, self-assessment…”
Our work identified “learner/learning presence” in the CoI model through surveys, QCA, and SNA
Online self- and co-regulatory abilities, attitudes, and actions within a community of inquiry

23. Latest research interest
Issues confronting at-risk students in online environment – focus on community college students

25. Proposed Framework for Online Student Persistence
