The biggest challenge facing all higher education institutions is how to ensure more students stay in college or university and complete their degrees. They are looking everywhere for solutions. Arizona State University, for instance, discovered that the college catalogue overwhelmed students with too many class choices and gave them too little guidance. So the university redesigned the entire experience. The new, personalized online catalogue features “major maps,” which outline a major’s key requirements, optimal course sequence, and career options to help keep students on the path to graduation.
摆在所有高等教育机构面前的一个最大挑战是如何保证让更多的学生留在学校里,并读完他们的学位。他们四处寻找答案。例如,亚利桑那州立大学发现,大学课程目录中的课程 让人目不暇接,但却没有多少指导意见,这让学生无所适从。所以,这所大学重新设计了学习体验。新的个性化的在线课程目录有这些特点:“学科地图”列举了一门学科的主要 要求,推荐的课程攻读顺序,以及职业选择,帮助学生一路顺利地走到毕业。
I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education. It also reminded me how much work still needs to be done. What’s most exciting is that the institutions I visited are not standing still. They are taking risks and using their creative and intellectual powers to reinvent themselves for the future. In doing so, they will give many more students the opportunity to do the same with their own lives.
