As higher ed professionals, this is a good time to re-think our social platforms. The most relevant platform for UPCEA, the assocation for professional, continuing, and online education leaders (at which I am a Senior Fellow), and its members is CORe (Collaborative Online Relationships) that is open to those professionals at the hundreds of UPCEA member institutions. Members raise questions, make announcements, consider collaborations, and engage one another on timely topics in many aspects related to professional, continuing, and online higher education. Other associations in our field similarly maintain open and/or closed listservs designed to facilitate dissemination of information and platforms for discussion around their own niches of higher education field. Yet, there still is a need for broader based discussion on the emerging technologies, developing strategic options, and the changing policy and related changes that we face with the public at large.
