Higher education is at a turning point. The current model of higher education was built for the industrial era and needs to be transformed, according to Arthur Levine, author of the previously published The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future. He has a new book coming out in spring 2026. He is not promoting either book at this time. Nationally known educational thought leader and Brandeis University President Arthur Levine has been at the forefront of the changing role of higher education. He argues that in the next 20 years, college will be reinvented. Consumers of higher education will determine what higher education will be, and that every institution will have to change. All colleges—especially liberal arts colleges —need to be more closely tied to the needs of the workplace and must change traditional structures, curricula, programs, degree offerings, teaching methods, career education, and student support systems. The proposed changes address concerns of both parents and the needs of employers—finding workers whose skills match what they need.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
Today, a college diploma is no guarantee that graduates have the competencies that businesses need, including using emerging technologies, communicating, working in teams, and other necessary skills. So, it's fair to ask, “Do students really need a college degree”? Brandeis University President, and nationally respected higher education leader and researcher, Arthur Levine has been at the forefront of the changing role of higher education. Co-author of THE GREAT UPHEAVAL, HIGHER EDUCATIONS PAST PRESENT AND UNCERTAIN FUTURE, Levine argues that in the next 20 years, consumers of higher education will determine what higher education will be, and that every institution will have to change. Today, the United States is undergoing change of even greater magnitude and speed than it did during the Industrial Revolution as it shifts from a national, analog, industrial economy to a global, digital, knowledge economy. At the same time, public confidence in higher education has declined. Threatened by a demographic cliff in most states where fewer students will be graduating from high school over the next 20 years, the increased competition for students means that a larger number of higher education institutions will be closing or merging with other institutions. It is expected that as many as 20 to 25 percent of colleges, particularly liberal arts colleges and comprehensive regional colleges, will close in the coming years. Learn more about The Great Upheaval: The book reveals that five new realities, none of higher education's own making, will characterize the coming transformation: Institutional control of higher education will decrease, and the power of higher education consumers will increase. In a range of knowledge industries, the advent of the global, digital, knowledge economy multiplied the number of content providers and disseminators and gave consumers choice over what, where, when, and how of the content they consumed. The same will be true of higher education. The digital revolution will put more power in the hands of the learner who will have greater choice about all aspects of their own education. With near universal access to digital devices and the Internet, students will seek from higher education the same things they are getting from the music, movie and newspaper industries. Given the choice, consumers of the three industries chose round-the-clock over fixed-time access, consumer- rather than producer-determined content, personalized over uniform content, and low prices over high. In the emerging higher education environment, students are placing a premium on convenience—anytime, anyplace accessibility; personalized education that fits their circumstances and unbundling, only purchasing what they need or want to buy at affordable prices. For instance, during the pandemic, while college enrollments were declining, enrollment in institutions with these attributes, such as Coursera, an online learning platform, saw the number of students they serve jump. In the United States and abroad, Coursera enrollments jumped from 53 to 78 million. That 25 million student increase is more than the entire enrollment in U.S. higher education. New content producers and distributors will enter the higher education marketplace, driving up institutional competition and consumer choice and driving down prices. We are already seeing a proliferation of new postsecondary institutions, organizations and programs that have abandoned key elements of mainstream higher education. These emphasize digital technologies, reject time and place-based education, create low-cost degrees, adopt competency or outcome-based education, and award nontraditional credentials. Increasingly, libraries, museums, media companies and software makers have entered the marketplace, offering content, instruction and certification. Google offers 80 certificate programs and Microsoft has 77. The American Museum of Natural History has its own graduate school, which offers a Ph.D. in comparative biology, a Master of Arts degree in teaching, and short-term online courses that teachers can use for graduate study or professional development credit. The new providers are not only more accessible and convenient, offering a combination of competency- and course-based programs, they are also cheaper and more agile than traditional colleges and universities which will lead to more contraction and closings? The industrial era model of higher education focusing on time, process and teaching will be eclipsed by a knowledge economy successor rooted in outcomes and learning. In the future, higher education will focus on the outcomes we want students to achieve, what we want them to learn, not how long we want them to be taught. This is because students don't learn at the same rate and because the explosion of new content being produced by employers, museums, software companies, banks, retailers and other organizations inside and outside higher education will be so heterogeneous that what students accomplish cannot be translated into uniform time or process measures. The one common denominator they all share is that they produce outcomes, whatever students learn as consequence of the experience. The dominance of degrees and “Just-in-case” education will diminish; non-degree certifications and “Just-in-time” education will increase in status and value. American higher education has historically focused on degree granting programs intended to prepare their students for careers and life beyond college. This has been called “just-in-case education” because its focus is teaching students the skills and knowledge that institutions believe will be necessary for the future. In contrast, “just-in-time education” is present-oriented and more immediate, teaching students the skills and knowledge they need right now. “Just-in-time education” comes in all shapes and sizes, largely diverging from traditional academic time standards, uniform course lengths and common credit measures. The increasing need for upskilling and reskilling caused by automation, the knowledge explosion and Covid promises to tilt the balance toward more “just-in-time education, which is closely aligned with the labor market and provides certificates, micro-credentials, and badges, not degrees.

Do students really need a college degree? With growing criticism over higher education, how is higher ed reinventing itself? For a parent or student who might be worried about a future career mixed with the daunting reality of student loan debt, is a college education still a sound investment or is it unnecessary considering today's changing economy? Newly instated President of Brandeis University, Arthur Levine is looking beyond the horizon on what higher education should be in the future joined us to discuss.

Nate Gadol is a spirit with the power to make anything last for as long as it's needed, whether oil, chocolate, or a flower. Gadol's special gift is at the center of The Hanukkah Magic of Nate Gadol, a children's book from author Arthur Levine. Growing up, Levine says, he felt that the Jewish holiday was often eclipsed by the mythology surrounding Christmas, with beloved characters like Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus. With Nate Gadol, Levine aims to introduce a mythological hero that Jewish people could call their own. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Levine and NPR's Scott Simon. They discuss the backstory behind Hanukkah presents and the many forms Jewish families take today.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Higher education is facing an enrollment cliff. Or, as Augustana University President Stephanie Herseth Sandlin puts it, a "consumption cliff." Not only are there fewer students for universities to recruit, there are also fewer students even considering enrolling in post-secondary education.In this episode, we discuss some of the ways private universities can hedge against these upcoming challenges. STEM education - when integrated into a traditional liberal arts model - can play a vital role in attracting students to a university.You'll learn:Why universities who don't embrace STEM may be closing their doors in the next 5 yearsHow to incorporate STEM without losing the liberal arts coreWhy tuition shouldn't stop families from considering a private university - and what universities should do to dispel these mythsHow higher education leaders can empower the innovators on their teams to discover ways to integrate STEM into strategic planningThe importance of "finding a third way"3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Liberal arts universities should integrate STEM fields into their programs: We shouldn't stop teaching liberal arts, but we should find ways to incorporate STEM concepts, practices and technologies into a liberal arts core to provide a well-rounded education and meet the demands of the job market. Hear how Augustana University is doing just this in their STEM Scholars program, through healthcare education and more.Offer the vitamins of education, not just the calories: To thrive in this new era of higher education, universities have to offer more than just four-year degree programs. Learners are looking for certificates, bootcamps, micro-credentials and other short-term programs that will support their lifelong learning efforts.STEM is everywhere; empower your staff to think outside the traditional academic box and innovate higher education: The STEM world moves quickly, and the strictures of academia don't always enable universities to pivot at the same pace. But university leaders can empower the entrepreneurial thinkers on their staff to embed STEM themes into existing programs. Hear how Augustana's music programs have done just this.Resources mentioned in this episode:To learn more about Augustana University, visit their websiteRead The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future by Arthur Levine and Scott J.

SHOW NOTES: https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2023/08/friends-for-lq-auction.html We're squeezing in an extra episode this month to let you know about a special project inspired by our July 2023 interview with Arthur Levine of Levine Querido! After hearing the July interview, listeners Liza Wiemer and Debbi Lakrtiz were inspired to address the challenge of reduced sales that LQ is facing due to its mission of championing diverse voices. Levine Querido is a remarkable publisher with an important yet imperiled mission. In the few short years since they were founded, they've won over 150 awards for their devastatingly beautiful books, but the timing of the pandemic and the rise in book banning is a huge challenge for them. We need Levine Querido to succeed, not just because they are doing great work but because the publishing industry needs to see that diversity does sell. Liza and Debbi are organizing an online auction to help Levine Querido get past this difficult time. You are welcome to donate an item or service, AND of course to bid in the auction! Listen to this short episode to learn more, and please join me in buying LQ books, requesting them from the local library, and supporting Liza and Debbi's auction.

Levine Books at Scholastic after 23 years, and he started Levine Querido in 2019 to showcase gorgeous diverse books by creators from underrepresented backgrounds - and he's been very successful, winning award after award. For a non-Jewish publisher, Levine Querido publishes a lot of Jewish books, so I've been wanting to chat with Arthur for a while. When he announced that Team LQ had set a goal to sell 100,000 books by September 1st of this year, I knew it was the right time to have him on the show.

There are so many awesome attractions debuting in 2023, we needed two shows to get to them all! This week, we're joined once again by long-time friend of the show, theme park expert Arthur Levine.
Theme Park expert Arthur Levine joins Mike and EB as they take a look at new attractions coming to parks in 2023!
Arthur Levine is a Theme Park Journalist at AboutThemeParks.fun, and has been covering the amusement industry for more than 30 years. Arthur has regularly contributed to USA Today, About.com, FunWorld, and several other publications where he covers all aspects of theme and amusement parks. His unique career has taken him all over the world, where he was able to attend the grand opening of Shanghai Disneyland, the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney World, and be among the first riders on Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa and Mako at SeaWorld Orlando. In this interview, Arthur talks about theme park journalism, turning your passion into your career, and blending nostalgia with technology. Theme park journalism "I have a responsibility to the parks and to the readers, and I take that very seriously." The landscape of journalism has changed drastically over the past few decades, and the attractions industry has had to adapt in the way that stories are shared. While many of the core fundamentals of reporting remain the same, the ability for readers to respond and engage in dialogue has created challenges in today's landscape of social media - including clickbait, gratuitous negativity, and controversy for the sake of controversy. In response to this, Arthur has launched his own Substack, AboutThemeParks.fun, that allows him to offer a subscription service that avoids many of the challenges listed above. Both free and paid subscriptions are available, with bonus content made available to paid subscribers. Turning your passion into your career “If you can enjoy the work that you're doing, that's a great blessing.” Arthur has been passionate about amusement parks for as long as he can remember. As early as two years old, Arthur visited Revere Beach in Massachusetts with his mother and grandmother, and while everyone sat on the beach and looked at the ocean, Arthur faced the other way, enamored by the rides in operation at the park. Since then, Arthur has covered the theme park industry extensively. While there are many perks to his career, many people overlook the amount of hard work that go into producing quality content and meeting deadlines. Blending nostalgia with technology "There's a deep sense of nostalgia, but there's also a great sense of wonder to experience something new." One of the reasons people visit amusement parks is to relive memories from their childhood and to share these experiences with their families as they create new traditions. This creates an opportunity for parks - whether they are trolley parks that opened in 1800s or Disney theme parks - to preserve their heritage for years to come. It also creates a challenge, considering much of today's consumer demands greater use of technology. However, much of the industry was founded on the premise of showcasing new technologies that allowed them to wow and awe their guests. Therefore, when parks embrace new technology, it allows them to maintain their roots of providing cutting edge entertainment to guests. To subscribe to Arthur's substack, visit AboutThemeParks.fun.

In the next 20 years, consumers of higher education will determine what higher education will be, and every institution will have to change. Everyone will have the same kind of choice and just-in-time opportunities to take courses from a broader range of providers as we have in music, film, and newspapers. Research universities and residential colleges will be more aligned with work and offer new types of credentials. Community colleges and regional universities will be disrupted, providing low-cost, anytime/anywhere courses, and will likely have to compete with brand-name corporations and cultural agencies that offer the same kind of just-in-time credentials. Arthur Levine, former president of Teachers College, Columbia University, and co-author of The Great Upheaval: The Past, Present and Uncertain Future of Higher Education, argues that these changes will create equity issues in higher education, leading to a two-tiered system, one for affluent students and the other for low-income students and students of color. He argues for providing students with the differential resources they require to achieve the same result. This will require expanding scholarship programs, making education free of cost from grade 12 today to grade 14, closing the digital divide for underserved populations, and providing students with not only greater access to higher education but also greater choice among institutions. Meanwhile, as our society becomes more fragmented and divided, we have reason to worry that higher education's transformation will further fragment us. College is likely to be an increasingly individualized experience aimed at connecting people to new uses of knowledge but not common knowledge.” All things considered” may soon become “one thing considered,” with each person determining what they want that thing to be. This calls for a new common curriculum that focuses on what unites us as humans and includes study of communications, our shared heritage, ethics and values, critical thinking, and how to live in a diverse, interconnected, multicultural world.

Hello, Austria! Thank you for joining us here in leaving the world a little sillier. Today’s episode hails from September 17th, 1995. I have titled it: The Night of Tertiary Talk! We begin with a Jack Harte traffic report. Then Norm talks about his rather busy day. He got off the air and went over to the WBZ Farm Stand. Later that day, before he came back to work the overnight, he attended an event at the Hatch Shell: A Swing Celebration in honor of Ballroom Dancing Week! And later we learn that the next day he and I were going to be doing a show. Norm used to go around to senior centers, private meetings and other places and talk about Old Time Radio. Arthur Levine booked the gigs. Ed Mullen, of Swell Music Quiz fame and fortune, used to do the set up and produce them. When he moved on, Norm asked me, and we worked together on that until his passing. It consisted of playing cuts from classic radio broadcasts and commercials, plus a world renown demonstration by Norm and I on sound effects…and talking about all of it with the audiences. The procession of callers are as follows: BILLY CLYDE! I was so thrilled to find this tape with Billy on it. He was a popular caller on the Larry Glick Show and famous for, among other thing, a story he told about an orangutan. He and Larry were laughing uncontrollably. It was so popular that other callers would request to hear it again. I have not come across it here as of yet but I’m sure SOME body has a copy and if I get the chance I will definitely share it! He loved Norm too and they talk about jazz. The tape cuts out and returns with Billy again. He starts the ‘tertiary roads’ discussion that dominates the episode! The bonus is we get to hear that great Billy Clyde laugh! They move on to talking about some radio personalities and Norm gives us some fun insight. Just an all-around super moment from Norm’s Show. We hear from Mel who references Billy Clyde and talks more jazz with Norm. Then we have a brief call from Diane who will be attending the Old Time Radio show we would be doing later that day. There’s a bizarre call from someone going by the name of Carmine. Tertiary Talk carries on with Jane from Woodstock, CT. She also discusses the Brimfield Antique Show. She happens to be a dealer in antique electrical goods! Providence, RI chimes in with their ‘tertiary sewage treatment.’ Then we cut to the close of a Dumb Birthday Game. Players were Reed, Marge, Margaret, Ken in traffic and Patrick Murray who was producing and in studio. Before Norm lets Patrick go we discover that someone has parked a moped IN the mailroom at WBZ! We return to calls: A listener talks all about their love affair with the Corvette. Pam from Saugus asks Norm about the Lynn Item newspaper and Norm tells of his losing battle with a vending machine. We close with Irene from Dayton, OH looking for the answer to trivia question she heard on Bob Raleigh’s show. Stick around because Norm leafs through his leather-bound tombs of useless info to help her out.
September 14, 2021 The doe are preparing for their early summer birth. Their tummies well rounded and they're packing together like true family. It's as if the yearlings and two year old's are still learning. This week it's about becoming a mother. The goal is to teach the newborns how to survive as well as hide. It's as if they're whispering, “We shall help keep this forest growing forward.” Which brings me to a point of thought; what are you doing in your everyday world to replenish your forest? It doesn't have to be trees, rocks and the animal kingdom. Your forest could be New York City or a middle school classroom. I asked the question on my Daily Mess podcast, “Are there any more masters in the making?” Not sports heroes. Master's in the making. Who is investing in tomorrow's leaders? It has to come from those who are leading today. But to get to that point of direction the next question would be, “What have you mastered?” In martial arts we are trained to believe that nothing can be mastered unless it's been done 100,000 times. While the doe in the forest were teaching the yearlings the facts of life, the masters of the forest have generations of deer before them to give them the skills to teach the fawn to hide. In the human business world we rely so much on multitasking that there's physically no room to master your craft. You can be good at something but is it your birth given gift? I just had a conversation with Arthur Levine the author of The Great Upheaval. There's a huge generation gap between physical students on campus and those learning online. How important is it to get students to give to their forests by way of trusting remote learning as a tool versus something you're being forced to do? First graders are returning to remote learning. Without focus on education the learning curve suffers not just in their homes but how they'll handle life when they do reach college age. I study the animals in my forest because it opens my heart to our true presence and weaknesses. Are there any more masters in the making? The craftsmanship of a birth given talent?

Last week, we found out where Gerstlauer's "Mystery Coaster" for 2022 was going to be built -- Glenwood Caverns in Colorado, going by the name "Defiance." This week on the podcast, we're joined by Glenwood Caverns' General Manager Nancy Heard to learn, not only about Defiance, but a little more about America's only Mountaintop Amusement Park. Did you know that Glenwood Caverns dates all the way back to 1895, or that they opened the first-ever Alpine Coaster in North America in 2005? Or that when you order at their new "Smokehouse" restaurant, they will quite literally pull the meat off the grill and put it on your plate? Curious about how the new roller coaster got its name? We've got you covered! If you listen close enough, you might even hear what's coming next for Glenwood Caverns after Defiance opens next spring!
