A compelling value proposition, rooted in purpose and amplified through storytelling, helps schools successfully navigate the rapidly changing academic landscape.
University leaders want schools to disclose required textbooks, materials and readings for most courses. Supporters say the change promotes transparency and accountability, while some faculty worry it could invite political pressure or harassment.
San Jacinto College in Pasadena is among several Texas community colleges reviewing their academic offerings. The move follows a viral video of a student confronting a professor over gender identity that sparked widespread political debate.
At least two community colleges, Alvin and Blinn, are also considering what they can and can’t teach to high schoolers enrolled in their fast-growing dual credit courses.
After the video fueled outrage, a professor was fired and two college leaders removed from their administrative roles for approving content inconsistent with the course’s description.
AI can enhance learning across disciplines. It can help students brainstorm and identify weaknesses in their writing. It can offer feedback on oral presentations and simulate debate.
When we build content to be accessible, we’re also building for mobile learners, for first-generation students, for working adults—for the full diversity of today’s student population.
