  1. Increasing student engagement and retention using multimedia technologies : video annotation, multimedia applications, videoconferencing and transmedia storytelling

    Wankel, Laura A.
    Bradford : Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2013.

    Increasing Student Engagement and Retention Using Multimedia Technologies: Video Annotation, Multimedia Applications, Videoconferencing and Transmedia Storytelling examines new research on how videoconferencing, video annotation, video mapping, and related technologies are being used in higher education to increase learner engagement in an epoch of increasing globalization and diversity. These enabling technologies are reshaping and reframing the practice of teaching and learning in higher education. Through case studies, surveys, and literature reviews, this volume will examine how video, mapping, and related technologies are being used to improve writing/publishing skills, academic literacies in students, and create engaging communities of practice through digital storytelling, narratives, and inter-culturalism. This volume will also discuss a framework for deploying and assessing these technologies.

  2. Higher education's road to relevance : navigating complexity

    Ambrose, Susan A., 1958-
    Hoboken, NJ : Jossey-Bass, [2020]

    "Drawn heavily on research, What Comes Next in Higher Ed makes the case for why change is needed in post-secondary education and provides a promising path forward for new networks and ecosystems of learning and workforce development. Instead of using a university-centric approach, Dr. Ambrose and Dr. Wankel see the need for leadership in creating and nurturing networks and ecosystems that include employers, K-12 educators, post-secondary educators, and policy-makers. These ecosystems recognize and endorse multiple pathways to creating and credentialing self-directed learners who can meet the needs of a rapidly changing employment, social, and political landscape. In this book, Dr. Ambrose and Dr. Wankel provide an integrative approach that will enable administrators of all levels to understand the forces that result in the call to change, and provide a roadmap for how to think about their response given their role and institution, e.g., who is their current learner audience and who might/should it be, how will they adapt structures and pedagogies to address the learner audiences to what end. While all of these issues are written and talked about in various publications, they are dispersed. This book will bring them all together, making it more likely that educators and administrators will read it"--Explores the current context, role, and challenges of post-secondary education and presents options for promising pathways forward. The post-secondary educational system has undergone dramatic changes and experienced immense stress in the past two decades. Once regarded as the logical next step toward career opportunities and financial security, higher education is a subject of growing uncertainty for millions of people across the United States. It is more common than ever to question the return on investment, skyrocketing cost, and student debt burden of going to college. Prospective students, and many employers, increasingly view attending institutions of higher learning as inadequate preparation for entering the 21st century workforce. High-profile scandals--financial impropriety, sexual abuse, restrictions of free speech, among others--have further eroded public trust. In response to these and other challenges, leading voices are demanding strengthened accountability and measurable change. Higher Education's Road to Relevance illustrates why change is needed in post-secondary education and offers practical solutions to pressing concerns. The authors, internationally recognized experts in college-level teaching and learning innovation, draw heavily from contemporary research to provide an integrative approach for post-secondary faculty, staff, and administrators of all levels. This timely book helps readers identify the need for leadership in developing new networks and ecosystems of learning and workforce development. This valuable book will help readers: Understand the forces driving change in higher education Develop multiple pathways to create and credential self-directed learners Promote access to flexible, cost-effective, and relevant learning Adapt structures and pedagogies to address issues and overcome challenges Use an inclusive approach that extends to employers, K-12 educators, post-secondary educators, and policy-makers, among others Higher Education's Road to Relevance is a much-needed resource for college and university administrators, academic researchers, instructors and other faculty, and staff who support and interact with students.

    1st ed. - United Kingdom ; North America : Emerald, 2012.

    As interaction in higher education among faculty, staff, students, and others becomes ever more digital, the welter of new online communication technologies have provided many unintentional opportunities for indiscipline and misconduct. As a result of this unfortunate increase is misbehavior, administrators and instructors in higher education are increasingly being called upon to remedy and forestall such actions. Misbehavior Online in Higher Education is rich in contemporary case studies, analytical reports, and up-to-date research providing detailed overviews of various misbehavior, including cyberbullying, cyberstaling, cyberslacking, and privacy invasion, hacking, cheating, teasing, and enhanced prejudicial attitudes. The development of approaches to addressing these problems is discussed and examples are provided. The book also anticipates emerging problematic behaviors and explores the creation of new policies, programs, facilities, and technologies to tackle such problems.
