Conversation Starters
Students Know What They’re Looking for Online. Are Colleges Delivering What They Want? | EdSurge News - “Enrollment in on-campus courses fell nearly 11 percent in the past decade... In contrast, enrollment in online courses shot up from nearly 34 percent over the 10-year period. Surveys of remote college students show that their top priorities are convenience and flexibility. After all, about 70 percent of online students work, while in the wider college population, only about 40 percent are employed.”
🌱 With growing demand for flexible, online education and a shifting demographic of learners, how is your institution evolving to meet their needs?
Advancing Meaningful Learning in the Age of AI | Oregon State - Leveraging Bloom’s Taxonomy, Oregon State's educational design team crafted a guide for faculty to evaluate their activities, assessments, and potential course outcomes, helping pinpoint areas for improvement to enhance future learning experiences.
🌱 How are you rethinking assessments and learning outcomes as new AI technologies are being quickly being adopted by your learners?
How People Can Create—and Destroy—Value with Generative AI | BCG Research - “When using generative AI for creative product innovation, a task involving ideation and content creation, around 90% of our participants improved their performance. When our participants used the technology for business problem solving, a capability outside this frontier, they performed 23% worse than those doing the task without GPT-4.”
🌱 As your team begins to experiment with Generative AI, have you provided guidance on what use cases the technology is best vs. not so great (yet) at?
