The Future of Learning and How It Could Change Your Classroom - Dan, Beth, and Beckie, Chronicle of Higher Ed

If you want more students to succeed, particularly at a time when more disadvantaged students are coming into higher education, then you need to be more deliberate in figuring out what works and trying to bring it to scale. One person described it to me by saying that the artisanal approach to teaching isn’t going to work anymore. I don’t think that means we’re going to have a bunch of robots teaching students, though. Professors should expect measurement and data and analytics to only increase (at least for those who don’t teach at small colleges). It also means they need to advocate collectively for more support to help them do their jobs better. There’s a big disconnect between what academic leaders say they want to do to support student success and what is actually offered to encourage better teaching. In my report, I really hit that point hard -- don’t assume your faculty is technophobic or resistant to change. Their concerns are real, and you should pay attention to what they need. https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-Future-of-LearningHow/243437
