Using Mixed Methods To Create A Culture Of Assessment, Demetri L. Morgan, John Zilvinskis
Using Mixed Methods To Create A Culture Of Assessment, Demetri L. Morgan, John Zilvinskis
Demetri L. Morgan, Ph.D.
Using a mix method approach, a pair of new professionals spent the summer on an assessment project
examining what factors lead to creating a culture of assessment within their Residential Operations
department. By reviewing the literature; interviewing higher education faculty, departmental partners,
and staff members; and surveying the department; the new professionals were able to create an effective
assessment training and provide departmental strategies that led to a standing workgroup to interweave assessment, evaluation, and research into the practice of departmental professionals. This project in
assessment provides several examples of how departmental stakeholders can begin creating a culture of
assessment …
Iwant Does Not Equal Iwill: Correlates Of Mobile Learning With Ipads, E-Textbooks, Blackboard Mobile Learn And A Blended Learning Experience, Jeffrey Brand, Shelley Kinash, Trishita Mathew, Ron Kordyban
Iwant Does Not Equal Iwill: Correlates Of Mobile Learning With Ipads, E-Textbooks, Blackboard Mobile Learn And A Blended Learning Experience, Jeffrey Brand, Shelley Kinash, Trishita Mathew, Ron Kordyban
Ron Kordyban
This research tested the efficacy of a blended learning iteration with iPad tablet computers, an e-textbook and Blackboard's Mobile Learn application connected with a learning management system (LMS). Mobile learning was embedded into the pedagogical design of an undergraduate subject run in two semesters with 135 students. Using design-based research (DBR), an empirical investigation examined four variables including: iPad use; mobile technology use; attitude, including the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) scale; and academic performance. Quantitative analysis with PASW Statistics included descriptive, scaling, correlations, partial correlations and ANCOVAs. Results suggested that students were positive about mobile …
Online Learning: From A Specialized Distance Education Paradigm To A Ubiquitous Element Of Contemporary Education, Karim Hajhashemi, Neil Anderson
Online Learning: From A Specialized Distance Education Paradigm To A Ubiquitous Element Of Contemporary Education, Karim Hajhashemi, Neil Anderson
Karim Hajhashemi
This paper provides a literature overview of the increasing importance of online learning across all modes of instruction, whether they take place in higher education, school-based or informal education. It then moves to discussing the current situation regarding the Australian university sector and then provides an example of the same subject offered in a School of Education across four different modes – two being face to face and two by distance. The modes are reviewed to examine the use of online learning with the common subject and assessment being the control.
Investigating The College Adjustment And Transition Experiences Of Formerly Incarcerated Black Male Collegians At Predominantly White Institutions, Terrell L. Strayhorn, Royel M. Johnson, Blossom A. Barrett
Investigating The College Adjustment And Transition Experiences Of Formerly Incarcerated Black Male Collegians At Predominantly White Institutions, Terrell L. Strayhorn, Royel M. Johnson, Blossom A. Barrett
Dr. Royel M. Johnson
Much of the present research available on formerly incarcerated Black males (FIBMs) focuses primarily on their criminal experiences and subsequent effects on their personal lives, employment options, and repeat offenses. Despite the overwhelming number of Black men in the U.S. criminal justice system and the country’s goal of increasing the proportion of citizens who earn postsecondary degrees, little is known about the postsecondary adjustment and transition experiences of FIBMs. This exploratory study represents an initial attempt to address a gap in the research by centering on two questions: (a) What challenges do FIBMs face in adjusting and transitioning to college? …
A Comparison Of For-Profit And Community Colleges’ Admissions Practices, Constance Iloh, William G. Tierney
A Comparison Of For-Profit And Community Colleges’ Admissions Practices, Constance Iloh, William G. Tierney
Constance Iloh
College choice has been an area of inquiry in higher education research for decades. While this scholarship has evolved, it has yet to incorporate the fastest-growing sector of higher education: for-profit colleges and universities. The authors investigate the admissions and recruitment conditions that would lead students— particularly those from low-income backgrounds—to consider a for-profit college over a community college. Specifically, the paper considers information provided to prospective students by several for-profit and community colleges in an urban city. On the basis of this research, conclusions and future directions for college choice theory and organizational practice are developed.

History Lab For Undergrads: A Day At The Museum, Elizabeth 'Libi' Sundermann
Elizabeth 'Libi' Sundermann
Museums are important venues for engaging history students in the habits of free-choice and lifelong learning. Although these sound like the pedagogical buzzwords du jour, both concepts are ones that educators today—including college professors and lecturers—should be adding to their teaching vocabulary. Unfortunately, while literature on these topics is widespread for K–12 educators, pedagogical and practical discussions for adult learners, particularly college students, have lagged. This article aims to help fill that gap. Encouraging free-choice learning through local public history venues, particularly museums, can serve as inspirations for college teachers and their students. Creatively mixed formal and informal teaching methods …

University Business Models And Online Practices: A Third Way, Beth Rubin
University Business Models And Online Practices: A Third Way, Beth Rubin
Beth Rubin
Higher Education is in a state of change, and the existing business models do not meet the needs of stakeholders. This article contrasts the current dominant business models of universities, comparing the traditional non-profit against the for-profit online model, examining the structural features and online teaching practices that underlie each. It then offers a third option for existing non-profit universities that would enable them to continue offering multiple value propositions while increasing efficiency and quality of outcomes. This involves emphasizing online instruction, separating research from teaching, and adopting a more complex structure based on differentiated faculty roles that would enable …
Too Korean To Be White And Too White To Be Korean: Ethnic Identity Development Among Transracial Korean American Adoptees., Joy Hoffman, Edlyn V. Peña
Too Korean To Be White And Too White To Be Korean: Ethnic Identity Development Among Transracial Korean American Adoptees., Joy Hoffman, Edlyn V. Peña
Edlyn V. Peña
The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explore how lived experiences affect ethnic identity development of transracial Korean American adoptees raised by White parents with the intent of informing higher education practice. Participants included 12 recently college-graduated transracial Korean American adoptees who were raised in the Midwest, rural south, and on the west coast. A theoretical model that surfaced from data collection is presented, demonstrating the complexity of transracial Korean adoptee identity.
