10. Introduction
Rethinking education and finding a path forward

11. The Ideal Learning Experience
= Better Outcomes and Retention

12. Education today...

13. Education is Evolving
One-Size Fits-All VS. Personalized

14. Constraints of the Traditional Model
No opportunity to learn from failure
Limited, untimely feedback provided
Access to post-mortem data
Instructor left to theorize what went wrong
Technology used primarily for reporting and administrative purposes

15. Course Content & Delivery Constraints
No data on how student is interacting with content
Limited insight on whether student comprehends content
No perspective on whether the student can apply the knowledge
No ability to identify what content is engaging
Limited ability to make content relevant and contextualized

16. Next Gen Learning: The Promise
Next Gen Learning helps the development of skills required to create value in
today’s workforce, such as:
- Critical Thinking
- Problem Solving
- Collaboration
- Communication
Opportunities for increased student engagement
Accessible content, such as Open Educational Resources (OER)
Real-time data that informs both teacher and student

17. The Ideal Learning Experience
= Better Outcomes and Retention

18. The Ideal Learning Experience
Engaging Experiences + More Relevant Data + Open Materials
= Better Outcomes and Retention

19. Reuse:
Content can be reused in its unaltered form
Retain:
Users have the right to make, archive, and “own” copies of the content
Revise:
Content can be adapted, adjusted, modified or altered
Remix:
The original content can be combined with other content to create something new
Redistribute:
Copies of the content can be shared with others in its original, revised or remixed form
course materials
open textbooks
videos
lesson plans
software

Like all institutions, we continue to work creatively to find solutions to
help online students make gains. Many of the recommendations being
implemented, however, affect more than just fully online students –
they potentially affect any student whose instructor uses a digital
platform.
Lumen provides high quality, vetted content with built in options for
strong pedagogical support on Day 1. What’s more, it is affordable for
students and easy for faculty to learn to use.
