3 critical parts of HEA reauthorization - Laura Devaney, eCampus News

The University Professional and Continuing Education Association (UPCEA), The Online Learning Consortium (OLC), and the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET) have released recommendations for Congress to consider as it readies for HEA reauthorization. “Current law and regulation trail innovation,” said Russ Poulin, director, policy and analysis, WCET. “While technology-mediated education greatly expands opportunities in higher education, the current federal regulatory system was designed for the traditional students of the past who were educated in a static setting that is very different from the reality experienced by the vast majority of postsecondary students today.” http://www.ecampusnews.com/top-news/components-hea-reauthorization-724/
