SUMMARY:All Learning Counts - Implementers' Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who joined our All Learning Counts – Implementers’ Meeting webinar on Thursday\, October 15\, 2020. \nHere is a video of the complete webinar: \n \nEvery year\, millions of New Englanders gain college-level knowledge and skills outside of traditional learning environments – while on the job\, in the military\, or through workforce training programs. Most of that learning goes unrecognized and uncounted toward degrees or credentials of value. We believe colleges & universities should do more to ensure all learning counts\, regardless of where it takes place. \n\n\nAccording to a recent survey\, 46% of people in our region have some college but no degree—and more than half of respondents said they would be more likely to consider college more of their existing learning could count towards a degree. Institutions\, however\, are not well-equipped recognize that learning and award course credit. By improving policy and practice related to learning recognition\, we can create a more inclusive system that helps individuals advance their educational and career goals.\n\nCurrent practices – including credit for prior learning (CPL) and prior learning assessment (PLA) – are expensive and difficult to navigate for students. They are often not well-advertised and many students are not aware of these options. Through our All Learning Counts work\, NEBHE will work with institutions to promote more opportunities for students to earn college credit for what they already know.\n\n\nThe webinar featured three student panelists: \n\n\n\nLauren Hayden\, University Of New England Master’s Candidate\nJesse Lauden\, Master’s Candidate\, Tufts University\nFred Mutsinzi\, Duet Graduate\, Southern New Hampshire University\n\n\n\n…and these professional panelists: \n\n\n\n\n\nLaurie Ficker\, Assistant Director Of Advising And Prior Learning Assessment\, University Of Maine At Augusta\nTim Lyon\, Vice President for Analytics and Strategy\, Maguire Associates\nPat Marshall\, Deputy Commissioner For Academic Affairs And Student Success\, Massachusetts Department Of Higher Education\nJason Pollock\, Analyst\, Maguire Associates\nYasmine Ziesler\, Chief Academic Officer\, Vermont State Colleges System\nCharlotte Peyser\, Senior Policy & Research Analyst\, New England Board of Higher Education\nCandace Williams\, Director of Policy Research & Strategic Initiatives\, New England Board of Higher Education\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to download NEBHE’s PowerPoint presentation (in PDF format) featured at the beginning of the webinar.\n\n\n\nClick here to download the PowerPoint presentation (in PDF format) featured in the webinar\, featuring information from Tim Lyon\, Vice President for Analytics and Strategy\, Maguire Associates.

SUMMARY:The "New Normal": Lessons Learned from the COVID Age and New Approaches for Spring
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who joined our The “New Normal” webinar on December 1\, 2020. \nHere is a video of the complete webinar: \n \n\nPackback and the New England Board of Higher Education have partnered together for the upcoming webinar The “New Normal”: Lessons Learned From the COVID Age and New Instructional Approaches for Spring. \nAfter the COVID-19 pandemic forced an urgent shift to online learning this spring\, colleges and universities are now making their way through a fall semester that is\, for many institutions\, almost completely remote. The “new normal” has brought with it a host of new questions: Is it possible to foster student engagement in an online setting? How can students\, not to mention faculty and staff\, stay motivated with limited face-to-face interaction? These unprecedented challenges\, however\, also present surprising opportunities\, and many institutions have seen their online programs succeed in unexpected ways. For many programs\, the use of enhanced technology like Packback\, an online discussion platform equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) instructional support technology\, has enabled instructors to improve student curiosity\, drive engagement\, and strengthen critical thinking skills through rigorous online discussion. \nMichael Graves\, Associate Chair and Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell; Kathleen Ives\, Director of Higher Education at the National Laboratory for Education Transformation (NLET) and Former CEO at Online Learning Consortium; and Maris Lown\, Vice President for Academic Affairs at Union County College in New Jersey\, came together to explore the lessons they’ve learned from a unique and challenging fall semester\, how these takeaways will apply to the spring\, and how Packback has played a critical role in the transition to remote learning.

SUMMARY:Demystifying Professional Licensure Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who joined our Demystifying Professional Licensure Compliance webinar on Thursday\, March 25\, 2021. \n \nIn July 2020\, updates to an existing federal rule came into effect requiring institutions who participate in Title IV programming to provide public and individual disclosures for programs that lead to professional licensure or certification for distance education and face-to-face programs. Violations of the rule could result in administrative enforcement actions\, such as fines or a loss of program eligibility to participate in Title IV\, or other consequences. \nAlthough complex\, and at times overwhelming\, professional licensure compliance is a necessary measure in the best interest of students. Approvals by respective licensing entities and accurate disclosures ensure students make informed decisions to enroll in programs which support their professional goals. \nColleagues from postsecondary institutions in Connecticut joined the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) and Connecticut Office of Higher Education (CT OHE) to: \n\nReview context of the federal rule (34 CFR 668.43)\nDiscuss what constitutes a program which leads to professional licensure\nHear strategies to get started in seeking professional licensure approvals and disclosure practices\nReview requirements and explore resources under the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)\n\nThe webinar featured these panelists: \n\nTimothy D. Larson\, Executive Director\, Connecticut Office of Higher Education\nSean Seepersad\, Division Director of Academic Affairs\, Connecticut Office of Higher Education\nEmily Bjornberg\, Senior Consultant\, Connecticut Office of Higher Education\nShari Miller\, Consultant\, Institutional Compliance MATTERS\nMarianne Boeke\, Senior Director for Research and State Support\, National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)\nRachael Stachowiak\, Associate Director\, State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NEBHE-SARA)\, New England Board of Higher Education\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to download the Demystifying Professional Licensure Compliance presentation in PDF format. \nClick here to view the Q&A\, additional resource information and contact information.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Supporting Students Through Creating Accessible High-Quality Open Education Resources
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who joined our Supporting Students Through Creating Accessible High-Quality Open Education Resources webinar on Monday\, March 29\, 2021. \n \nAs OER awareness continues to increase in postsecondary education\, faculty are becoming more curious about how they might invite their students into the creation process\, often referred to as Open Pedagogy. As editors and/or creators of OER\, students have the opportunity to make existing course content more culturally responsive and representative of their own lived experiences. This collaborative process organically generates opportunities to encourage the diversification of the curriculum and reverse historical inequities perpetuated in commercial textbooks\, which are far less likely to be inclusive and representative of underrepresented and marginalized voices. \nAlthough Open Pedagogy provides a new and exciting opportunity to invite the student into the scholarly conversation\, it’s crucial to scaffold this process to ensure we both respect student agency and help them create the most accessible\, representative\, high-quality OER. \nPanelists and OER practitioners Hannah Davidson\, Accessibility Specialist at Plymouth State University; Will Cross\, Director of the Copyright & Digital Scholarship Center in the NC State University Libraries; Stacy Katz\, Assistant Professor and Open Resources Librarian-STEM Liaison at Lehman College\, City Unioversity of New York; and Steel Wagstaff\, Educational Product Manager at Pressbooks shared their expertise and relevant experiences concerning topics like author agency\, privacy\, accessibility\, and copyright and fair use. \n\nLindsey Gumb is the New England Board of Higher Education’s Open Education Fellow and also an assistant professor and scholarly communications librarian at Roger Williams University. She co-chairs the Rhode Island state steering committee for Governor Raimondo’s Open Textbook Initiative and researches the intersections of open education and information literacy in higher education.\nWill Cross is the Director of the Copyright & Digital Scholarship Center in the NC State University Libraries\, an instructor in the UNC SILS\, and an OER Research Fellow. Trained as a lawyer and librarian\, he guides policy\, speaks\, and writes on open culture and navigating legal uncertainty. Will’s current research focuses on the relationship between copyright and open education.\nHannah Davidson (she/her) is the Accessibility Specialist at Plymouth State University where she is also a teaching lecturer and a doctoral candidate. Her research connects Open Education and accessibility–specifically attempting to capture the voices of students with disabilities regarding OER and open pedagogy.

SUMMARY:International Student Webinar Series\, Episode 3 - A New Vulnerable Workforce: Higher Education’s Role in Regional Workforce Development and Retaining International Students Post-Graduation
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who joined the International Student Webinar Series\, Episode 3: A New Vulnerable Workforce: Higher Education’s Role in Regional Workforce Development and Retaining International Students Post-Graduation webinar on Wednesday\, May 26\, 2021. \nHere is a video of the complete webinar: \n \n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to view an additional resouce: Coming to America: Reopening the United States to International Students (Kim\, April 2021)\n\n\n\nHigher education institutions have long recognized the significant benefits of having international students on-campus\, including that they bring their diverse perspectives into the classroom. International students are also critical to the health of the New England economy—both on campus and in the surrounding community. Foreign students studying at New England colleges and universities contributed $4.3 billion to our regional economy and supported thousands of jobs in the 2018-2019 academic year alone. While New England’s colleges and universities work hard to recruit and retain international students\, the region needs to strengthen its investment in these students post-graduation to help them join our local workforce. Talent is the fuel that powers New England’s innovation-based economic future\, and the world is in a race to recruit this talent. International students who come to the region to attend one of our higher education institutions can be one source of that talent\, but only with significant visa reform. In the final webinar of our series\, a panel of experts will explore ways in which our region’s higher education leaders can effectively advocate for policies that not only encourage international students to attend New England’s postsecondary institutions\, but also support their entry into the region’s workforce post-graduation.
