Trends and Issues

Wendy Evers, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA:

a. Distance Learning through Mobile devices- are we there yet? Are we ready?
b. State Authorization for USA for Credit courses/ programs… a very hot topic.
2. Hey- I’m a boomer so I have some good insight! I’m looking to see what I can do when I retire…… what is out there in interests that I have? SDSU has the Osher program but it is strictly “academic” courses, which I am not interested in when I retire. I want fun and ways to meet others!

Kim Becicka, Kirkwood Community College, Cedar Rapids, IA:

New Business Initiative at $350K potential or more

 

 

Jay Stockslader, Niagara University, Buffalo, NY:
1) State approval for online credit classes (i.e. register for an online class in Minnesota but I live in California)
2) International market
3) Ongoing battle of cost vs degree and its worth
Stephanie Bowlin, Richmond, VA:
Major trends – downturn in the economy
New certifications through UGotClass – any thought on offering an Administrative Professional Certification?
Best practices – staff time management, registration processes
