This paper reports experiences made at an Asian university in developing a social media platform based on Twitter in the context of a final year capstone project where information systems management students get an opportunity to solve ‘a real-world problem for a real client’. In this case study, the challenge was provided by a faculty member’s request for an interactive social media application which engages less outspoken students in class via a social medium they are familiar with: Twitter. We reconstruct the project’s evolution; describe the main features of the application called ‘TweetBoard’ and share lessons learned in developing a …

The General University Requirements (GUR) is a component of the new 4-year undergraduate program at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). This study examined students’ views and experiences of the GUR using a qualitative methodology. Written comments of 240 freshmen, sophomores, and senior-year students with reference to open-ended questions on their memorable experiences in the GUR study were collected. The qualitative findings suggested that students generally had positive views on the GUR in terms of its widely adopted active and experiential learning pedagogy, useful and attractive contents, caring teaching staff, and rich learning outcomes. Challenges were also identified for further …

The purpose of this survey study was to collect faculty perceptions toward changes made to the faculty merit evaluation process in a college of education at a state comprehensive university. The changes in the evaluation occurred over a two-year period, where a formative rubric and faculty self-assessment were incorporated into the merit instrument. The sampling frame for the study included the college of education faculty members at the university. The data for the study were collected in two different phases using a field-tested online survey that was created to collect the faculty perceptions of the newly developed instrument and process …

Latina Lesbian Students: Understanding Their Experiences And Perceived Sexual Identity Development At A Hispanic-Serving Institution, Gisela P. Vega
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of 15 Latina lesbian students and their perceived sexual identity development at a predominately Hispanic-serving Institution (HSI). Participants for this study were purposefully selected using criteria, convenience, and snowball sampling.
Using a conceptual framework comprised of the four tenets consistent across the spectrum of all sexual identity development models, participants’ experiences were described, analyzed, and interpreted to inform the study. Data were collected through individual face-to-face interviews, using an interview protocol, and were analyzed using inductive, deductive, and comparative analyses.
Three themes emerged during the inductive analysis: (a) the …

Student Evaluations Of Instructors May Be Flawed., Aldemaro Romero Jr.
Student Evaluations Of Instructors May Be Flawed., Aldemaro Romero Jr.
Publications and Research
For years, one of the most standard practices in
higher education has been what’s called “student
evaluation of teaching,” also known by its acronym
SET. This is a process that is carried out in just about
every college and university course every semester or
term. They are used essentially to measure how effective
a teacher is by surveying student satisfaction.
And the results of these surveys are used to make
many important decisions, such as whether or not
faculty members should be granted tenure – or even
keep their jobs.
A new study, however, is challenging the conventional
wisdom that …

College Libraries Eye Tradition In Era Of Change., Aldemaro Romero Jr.
Publications and Research
One could argue that universities originated
from places like the Library of Alexandria, established
23 centuries ago in Egypt. Libraries like
the one in Alexandria attracted the most talented
intellectuals.
They contained not only a large number of
papyrus scrolls but also served as botanical gardens,
collections of art and places of residence
for scholars.
When modern universities were built, libraries
occupied a distinctive place where students and
faculty went on an almost daily basis to seek the
information they needed for their studies. But
over the last few decades their role has transformed
and lessened. One reason for this …

The Democrats have made a number of concrete
promises regarding higher education if they win
the presidential elections. They promise concerted
actions against sexual assaults on campuses that
include comprehensive support for survivors, fair
judicial processes that prevent the use of cultural
biases against females as “inciters,” and increased
prevention efforts through education programs.
The Clinton campaign also promises support for
net neutrality, the idea that Internet service providers
should enable access to all content and applications
regardless of the source without favoring or blocking
particular products or websites. The Democratic plan
also proposes expanding availability of fiber-optic

Last week we reported that when it comes to
higher education, the Republican platform for this
election was a single paragraph with no real details
of what they propose to do for the next four years.
Given that, the only thing we can do to discern what
their policies will be for the sector is to analyze their
speeches and past policies and stances.
For example, during their Cleveland convention
Republican leaders propose to decouple accreditation
from federal financial aid. That means that a lot
of colleges and universities will feel no pressure to
maintain a minimum of standards and …

With the general elections just one month away it is
time to look at what the candidates for president of the
United States and their party platforms offer in terms of

Donald Trump has not said much on the issue and his
party platform on higher education is confined to one
paragraph. “When student loan debt exceeds the nation’s
credit card debt, we must recognize that our higher education
system is on an unsustainable path. The Republican
Party supports an education system that provides families

Complexity Of Academic Socialization Of Historically Underrepresented Doctoral Students: De-Privileging Distinctions Between Macro-And-Micro-Theoretical Approaches, Zarrina Talan Azizova
Complexity Of Academic Socialization Of Historically Underrepresented Doctoral Students: De-Privileging Distinctions Between Macro-And-Micro-Theoretical Approaches, Zarrina Talan Azizova
Teaching, Leadership & Professional Practice Faculty Publications
This article represents a conceptual work that critiques and challenges traditional linear theoretical assumptions of academic socialization and integration that are often applied to research of diverse populations in academia in general and doctoral education specifically. The article further proposes a new conceptual framework of academic socialization as a meaning-making act of historically underrepresented doctoral students. The ultimate goal of the proposed framework is to reconcile the restrictive use of sociological macro- and micro- orientations to foreground possibilities of a conceptual and empirical focus on an individual meaning making act (as a form of individual agency) of historically underrepresented doctoral …

One of the loudest hypes in the history of higher

The idea of Massive Open Online Courses was
launched five years ago when Stanford University
announced that by using Internet-based technologies
they would be able to offer college classes
for free.
Imagine, a world-class university offering a free
education from the comfort of your home, one that
didn’t require any admission tests or high school
transcripts. The possibilities were so exciting that
immediately there was talk about the final revolution
in higher education – the end of colleges and

One of the most controversial issues in higher education today is its cost, particularly for the students who end up carrying the burden of heavy college loan debt. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the total U.S student loan debt was $1.26 trillion in 2016, which is more than the total credit card debt in the country.

In these times of continuous change and challenges
to higher education, it is not a bad idea to ponder
whether or not its fundamental mission has changed.
Most people accept that the main mission of colleges
and universities is the transmission of knowledge.
Whether that knowledge is used to learn
skills, get a better job, or simply for advancement of
intellectual growth, that is and has always been the
mission of higher education.
