SUMMARY:Re-Envisioning Higher Education Economic Models
DESCRIPTION:A University Executive Lunch Briefing\nMonday\, April 4\, 2016\n 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.\nRSM Offices\n80 City Square\, Boston\, MA 02129 \nThe business and economic models of numerous industries and organizations are undergoing tremendous change and reinvention. From Amazon to Uber\, new models are transforming industry landscapes. \nBut what do such forces and changes mean for higher education? \nColleges and universities-long viewed as largely insulated from drastic change or industry shifts-increasingly face a world of fast-moving\, technology-fueled forces that are altering the value propositions and value-creation chain of higher education. \nWhereas institutions used to “do it all\,” new entrants and service providers that offer reconfigured credentials\, outsourcing options for academic and administrative functions and revenue-generating partnerships are changing the way higher education’s business gets done. \nWhat does the future hold? What implications do these changes portend for the fundamental economic models upon which many higher education institutions are premised? What new revenue-generating opportunities do these dynamic institutions present? And given the changes underway\, what will competitive\, sustainable college and university economic models of the future look like? \nJointly hosted by RSM and The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE)\, this executive lunch briefing for senior higher education executives and board leaders will focus on helping colleges and universities develop greater understanding of their respective business/economic models and of possible changes\, alternatives and strategic responses. \nSpecific topics will include: \n\nBetter understanding and interpreting institutions’ economic models and how they are changing;\nFrameworks for thinking about economic models and future states\, informed by data and case studies;\nHow senior leaders make strategic and well-informed decisions-engaging trustees\, faculty\, staff and other stakeholders in examining appropriate strategies and solutions;\nHow to stimulate change and innovation.\n\nFeatured speakers include: \n\nBob Shea\, Senior Fellow\, Finance and Campus Management\, National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO)\nCarol Vallone\, Chief Executive Officer\, Educate Online\nJacalyn Askin\, Economic Models Project Manager\, National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO)\nMichael B. Alexander\, President\, Lasell College\nRick Beyer\, Managing Principal\, Association of Governing Boards (AGB)\, Institutional Strategies\nKasia Lundy\, Managing Director\, Parthenon-EY\nKyle Pochini\, Technology and Management Consulting Manager\, RSM\nElla Grekov\, Technology and Management Consulting Manager\, RSM\n\n  \nPlease click here to view the Agenda.

SUMMARY:The Case for Competency-Based Education: A New Age of Teaching and Learning?
DESCRIPTION:Oct. 20\, 2014\n Federal Reserve Bank of Boston \nWhy today’s interest in competency-based education (CBE)? “Number one\, the degree completion agenda period is driving this—the fact that so many states are moving to performance funding\, and colleges are feeling drive to help students be successful\,” says Pamela Tate of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL). In addition\, “A lot of employers are really pushing for having a clearer idea of what people know and can do in the workplace.” \n\n Introducing NEBHE’s CBE Conference\n \nNEBHE President and CEO Michael K. Thomas introduces NEBHE’s October 20 conference on CBE. \n\n Understanding Competency\n \nThe opening panel of the NEBHE CBE conference featured Pamela Tate along with Nick Lee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Holly Morris of Educause; Alison Kadlec of Public Agenda; moderator Paul Fain of Inside Higher Ed; and Amy Laitinen of the New America Foundation. \n\n The Future of CBE\nAmy Laitinen \nspeaks about future of CBE (with Paul Fain and Pamela Tate.). \n\nWhat the Research Shows about CBE\n \nDuring a session on “What the Research Shows about CBE”\, Robert Lytle\, partner and co-head of the education practice at the Parthenon Group\, offered a taxonomy of the CBE student market. In addition to “career accelerators” and “industry switchers\,” Lytle noted\, a market of “low-cost online folks” who gravitate toward the “faster\, cheaper” aspect. \nExcelsior College President John Ebersole and Northeastern University VP and Dean John LaBrie gave responses. Educate Online CEO Carol Vallone facilitated. \n\nAgainst the Grain: Perspectives of Accreditors and Authorizers on Institutions’ Pursuit of CBE\n \nA session on “Against the Grain: Perspectives of Accreditors and Authorizers on Institutions’ Pursuit of CBE” featured: David Soo\, senior policy advisor in the U.S. Department of Education; Barbara E. Brittingham\, president of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education at the New England Association of Schools and Colleges; and Michael Milligan\, executive director of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). David Bergeron\, vice president for postsecondary education at the Center for American Progress\, facilitated. \n\nBeyond Competency: What CBE Means for Critical Skills\, Liberal Education and the Future of Authentic Assessment\n \nA session on “Beyond Competency: What CBE Means for Critical Skills\, Liberal Education and the Future of Authentic Assessment” featured: facilitator Alison Kadlec\, vice president at Public Agenda; Carol Geary Schneider\, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities; Linda Schott\, president of the University of Maine at Presque Isle; and Christopher E. Hopey\, president of Merrimack College. \n\nBuilding a CBE Approach on Campus: Faculty Empowerment and Buy-In\n \nA session on “Building a CBE Approach on Campus: Faculty Empowerment and Buy-In” featured: facilitator Philip DiSalvio\, dean of the College of Advancing and Professional Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston; Raymond J. Rice\, provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of Maine at Presque Isle; professor James Kennedy\, chair of the Academic Committee\, Faculty Advisory Council at the University of Maryland University College; and Iris Palmer\, senior policy analyst at the National Governors Association. \n\nAn Expert Witness Puts It All Together\n \nA keynote session featured Southern New Hampshire University President Paul LeBlanc\, introduced by New England College of Business President Howard E. Horton. \nLeBlanc’s key message: “The credit hour is really good at telling us how long someone sat\, not particularly great at telling us what they learned.” \n“Five years ago\, even on our traditional campus\, we rarely heard people ask about that do your graduates do afterwards. They sort of gave us the benefit of the doubt\, but not post 2009\, not with all the articles people are seeing about graduates being malemployed or underemployed\,” added LeBlanc. \n\nAssessing Direct Assessment\n \nA “Master Class” offered participants the opportunity to learn in depth about specific models and institutions that offer CBE. One such session featured: Kate Kazin\, chief academic officer at the College for America at Southern New Hampshire University; Scott Kinney\, president of Capella University; and Sally M. Johnstone\, vice president for academic advancement at Western Governors University. \n\nOnline or Offline? Or Both?\n \nAnother “Master Class” session featured James E. Selbe\, assistant director for distance education at the Kentucky Community and Technical College System\, and Charla Long\, dean of the College of Professional Studies at Lipscomb University. \n\nInterview with Paul Fain of Inside Higher Education\n \nPaul Fain speaks with NEJHE‘s John O.
