Faith-Based Institutions, Institutional Mission, And The Public Good, Jessica Rose Daniels, Jacqueline N Gustafson
Faith-Based Institutions, Institutional Mission, And The Public Good, Jessica Rose Daniels, Jacqueline N Gustafson
Higher Learning Research Communications
Rooted in historical foundations and demonstrated by continued government financial support, one purpose of higher education is to contribute to the “public good,” or support and further social causes and human flourishing. This notion has received renewed attention in both the literature as well as in professional practice. Given the variety of institutional structures (e.g., public, private, religiously affiliated, nonprofit, and proprietary), the influence of institutional mission varies. Yet, aside from institutional leadership, an institution’s mission is potentially most significant in influencing public good. Faith-based higher education institutions often have missions that are inextricably interconnected with service and community engagement. …

Extending The Progressive Tradition To Poor Countries: The Role Of Universities And Colleges, Shiko Gathuo
Higher Learning Research Communications
American universities and colleges have always been a bastion of liberalism and progressive thought. Historically, the academic community has supported social justice issues, given a voice to the poor, minorities and the disadvantaged, and brought to light subjects that are considered taboo elsewhere. Indeed, many social movements have either started in American universities or been energized by the actions of university students and faculty, and often with the support of university administrations. Yet, when it comes to dealing with global issues that affect poor nations, universities have not always acted as change agents. In some cases, universities have to been …

Cathedrals, Casinos, Colleges And Classrooms: Questions For The Architects Of Digital Campuses, Frank Mccluskey, Melanie Winter
Higher Learning Research Communications
The bricks and mortar classroom has a long and storied history. The digital classroom is so new and different it may be wrong to even call it a “classroom”.The authors argue that architecture influences behavior.So in constructing our new digital classrooms we must pay attention to the architecture and what job we want that architecture to do.In thinking about the relation between instructional design and our pedagogical aims we must keep in mind that this new type of “space” may require us to rethink our views of both teaching and learning.DOI: 10.18870/hlrc.v3i3.154
