One of the themes that emerged from last week’s poll is that there’s an interest in networking time and opportunities to discuss teaching. (You can still contribute your ideas for what you hope the Teaching and Learning Commons will include through this form.) To get the ball rolling on both of those ideas, for my last message in the Sunday newsletter, I hope to begin a conversation with those of you that would like to engage in the topic of the future of higher education and how UNLV teaching may need to adapt.
Some of the things that keep this topic on the top of my mind include the Gartner Institute’s 2030 scenario planning (UNLV sign on required), the 2023 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report teaching and learning edition, this recently published open access book about new models of higher education and, most recently, this article from The Evolllution about the future of teaching in higher education. Please complete this brief availability survey if you’d like to be part of the discussion.
Looking forward to talking with you,
Beth Barrie
Vice Provost for Teaching & Learning Innovation
p.s. Dr. Mehwish Raza, a Fulbright scholar from Pakistan, currently at the College of Global Futures at Arizona State University, will be visiting us to share her framework which is designed to empower faculty members to identify their current proficiency in digital competence and self-regulate their professional development to advance their skillset. Please consider joining us on Monday, October 2nd from 10-11 in BEH-235 if you’re interested in the digital skills needed to be successful in higher education.
