Every year, Educause complies results from its annual Key Issues in Teaching and Learning survey. This year’s results are here.
According to the infographic and resources below, the Top 5 issues are:
- Faculty Development & Engagement
- Online & Blended Learning
- Instructional & Learning Experience Design
- Digital & Information Literacy
- Accessibility & Universal Design for Learning
As a supervisor, considering these trends is important in setting goals for the work we do. Coupled with data and a grasp of student learning needs, these can be powerful planning tools.
I’ve challenged my staff to consider the following questions:
- Are our services/resources accessible to on-campus and distance students?
- Are the resources we provide accessible by everyone (ADA-compliant)?
- In what ways are we engaging with faculty, and are they effective? How do we know they are effective?
- How are we addressing digital and information literacy in all of our programs?
Things to think about.
