Pursuing Quality, Access, and Affordability (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Whether they recognize it or not, virtually all colleges and universities face three Grand
Challenges:

• Improve the learning outcomes of a higher education: A large majority of college graduates are weak in capabilities that faculty and employers both see as crucial.
• Extend more equitable access to degrees: Too often, students from underserved groups and poor households either don't enter college or else drop out without a degree. The latter group may be worse off economically than if they'd never attempted college.
• Make academic programs more affordable (in money and time) for students and other important stakeholder groups: Many potential students believe they lack the money or time needed for academic success. Many faculty believe they don't have time to make their courses and degree programs more effective. Many institutions believe they can't afford to improve outcomes.
