Recorded on 19 December 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Vinod Shah In addressing problems, we often take a forward approach—assessing strengths and weaknesses (e.g., SWOT) before moving to strategic planning. In this session, however, I am adopting a different method: working backward from the desired impact. I have identified 10 interconnected health-related impact categories that could transform India's healthcare landscape. The audience will then explore how they can contribute to one or more of these areas. No specific model is prescribed—whether it's a mission hospital, clinic, or public-private partnership. The focus is simply on making a meaningful, positive impact on at least one or two proposed factors. Since these factors are interconnected, it will have a domino effect on the others. Although tailored for the Indian context, this reverse-engineering approach can be applied globally and fosters innovation. After coming to Christian faith from a Jain background, Dr Vinod Shah's passion is serving God through Medical Mission. He did his M.B.B.S, M.S & M.Ch from Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. He served as Executive Director of the Emmanuel Hospital Association in New Delhi; was the Head of Distance Education at CMC Vellore; and from 2014-2019 was the CEO of ICMDA.

Program Integrity and Institutional Quality Committee: A Focus on Distance Education and the Return of Title IV Funds. In this episode, host Drumm McNaughton is joined by Tom Netting, president of 10 Government Strategies, to discuss the recent Neg Reg 2024 proceedings and their implications for higher education institutions. They explore the key issues addressed during the negotiations, including distance education, accreditation, cash management, and more. The discussion highlights the importance of staying informed and engaged in the regulatory process to ensure the best outcomes for students and institutions alike.   Key Discussion Points Neg Reg 2024 March Consensus: One Out of Six The first quarter of the year focused on federal negotiated rulemaking, specifically the Program Integrity and Institutional Quality Committee. Consensus was achieved in one out of six major issues, which was related to trio and expanding access to grant assistance for students and immigrants. The Issue Where Consensus Was Achieved Consensus was reached on the issue of trio, which focused on expanding access to grant assistance for students and immigrants. The work of the subcommittee was well-received by the full committee, and the proposed changes to increase opportunities for these student populations were supported by the negotiators. The Five Issues Where Consensus Was Not Achieved Cash management State authorization Distance education Return to Title IV funds Accreditation and a complete rewrite of all accreditation Why is Neg Reg Important to Presidents, Boards, and Executive Levels of Higher Ed? Neg Reg provides an opportunity for the higher education community to discuss and negotiate regulatory compliance issues that affect the delivery of education and the responsibilities of the Department of Education and the Triad. Semantics Matter: Pay Close Attention to Neg Reg Revisions The specific wording of regulations, such as "must" versus "shall" or "may," can have significant implications for interpretation and enforcement. Higher education leaders must carefully review and scrutinize the language used in proposed regulations to ensure they align with the Department of Education's stated intent and do not result in unintended consequences for institutions or students. Clarity Around Consensus, Non-Consensus, and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking If consensus is not reached, the Department of Education can publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) based on the negotiations and public comments. Major Points from Neg Reg March 2024: Distance Education, Accreditation, NC-SARA, and Cash Management Proposed changes to NC-SARA, the national process for online education standards, were met with opposition from both institutions and states. The Department of Education appears to be moving more into the area of consumer protection in distance education. Accreditation: Rewriting Part 602 The Department of Education proposed a complete rewrite of accreditation standards, which was met with pushback from accreditors and institutions who felt it was overreaching. Cash Management, Tuition and Fees, Books and Supplies Proposed changes to cash management regulations would exclude books, supplies, and equipment from tuition and fees, requiring opt-in processes for each payment period. Why Higher Ed Leaders Need to Stay Involved in Neg Reg It's crucial for higher education leaders to stay informed about regulatory changes and provide input during public comment periods to ensure the best outcomes for their institutions and students. What's Happening on The Hill Key bills under consideration include the bipartisan year-round Pell proposal, the Making America Stronger Act (WIOA reauthorization), and the College Cost Reduction Act (student loan proposals). The 100 Percent Rule: Certifications and Licensures A new bill, the Clock Hour Program Student Protection Act, aims to restore the 150 percent timeline for institutions to provide comprehensive training for state licensure or certification exams. Title IX Revisions Title IX revisions are expected before July 4th, and there may be some surprising changes that could significantly impact higher education institutions.   Key March 2024 Neg Reg Takeaways for Higher Ed Leaders Higher education leaders should be prepared to advocate for their institutions and students, both on Capitol Hill and in response to Notices of Proposed Rulemaking. The issues discussed during Neg Reg 2024 will have significant implications for financial aid, IT departments, and other aspects of institutional operations. Final Thoughts  The Neg Reg 2024 proceedings have highlighted the complex and often contentious nature of higher education regulation. As the Department of Education continues to push for increased consumer protection and oversight, it is more important than ever for higher education leaders to stay engaged in the process and advocate for their institutions' and students' needs. By working together and providing thoughtful input during public comment periods, the higher education community can help shape regulations that support student success and institutional sustainability in the face of evolving challenges and opportunities.   Read the transcript on our website →   About Our Podcast Guest Tom Netting Having spent all of his professional career devoted to higher education policy oversight and implementation, Tom Netting has an extensive knowledge of the laws and regulations governing all aspects of higher education.

In this week's podcast, Dr. Melik Khoury, President of Unity Environmental University, shares the transformative journey of Unity from 500 to over 7,500 students and a budget increase from $14 million to $58 million.    Podcast Highlights   Our Inherited Academic Business Model is Cracking Under Pressure   Regulatory systems no longer hold up to the changes in higher education funding models post-evolution to loan-based funding. 75 percent of the universities and colleges that have closed or merged over the last five years were not under regulatory watch and/or warning or probation because our measuring stick does not meet the realities of the 21st-century institution. Academia is excellent at identifying and deconstructing the problem yet stymied by the challenge of adapting to change in processes and governance to meet market demand, even at the risk of its survival.    High Achievement Growth in Institutional Performance Unity went from 540 students to over 7,500, and expecting 10,000 within the next 2 years. Graduation rates are impressively high, alternative loans are less than 3%, and placement rates are over 80%. Dr. Khoury's mindset for achieving those big successes are: 1. Never be the smartest person in the room. 2. Be willing to (metaphorically) take a punch in the face and not fall down. 3. Figure out what you're really trying to do.   Building a Sustainable and Agile Enterprise Model Building an Enterprise Model requires thinking outside the one-size-fits-all model to create a new program and model that: o    delivers what potential students want. o   delivers it in an adaptable model that lets students shift when they want or need. o   does not compromise on the pedagogy or the experience based on the student type. Creating Distinct Independent Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs) Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs): structuring the model into independent delivery mechanisms that utilize centralized shared services. Unity currently has three academic SEBUs and one business ventures SEBU:   o   Distance Education – online learning o   Hybrid Learning – in-person and online learning o   Sustainable Ventures – revenue-generating businesses that provide a real-world manifestation of our curriculum o   Technical Institute for Environmental Professions – in-person and online learning offering associate degrees and certificates They segment verticals and treat them as subsidiaries with their own faculty, staff, and P&L.   When learning designers, faculty, and staff focus on the adult place-bound student, they don't have to compromise for the faculty, learning designer, or staff working on the community college commuter program, the residential program, and the like.  It allows the creation of programs, calendars, tuitions, and service types without the one-size-fits-all confines and compromises.   The Enterprise Model Non-traditional Org Structure   Unity's organizational structure emphasizes a balance between centralized decision-making for the enterprise and decentralized decision-making for subsidiaries.  The enterprise ensures compliance, assessment, and policy enforcement, while subsidiaries have authority over their own affairs within established guidelines.  Roles are differentiated based on the level of responsibility within the enterprise or subsidiary.   Efficient Curriculum Development: Streamlining Processes and Reducing Delays        Unity emphasizes collaboration between departments to avoid duplication and ensure unique offerings in their curriculum, aiming to streamline processes and reduce delays. Instead of creating duplicate courses, departments "buy" courses from each other. For example, if one department wants an online course, they purchase it from another department specializing in online education. The approach ensures consistency in curriculum across different departments, making it easier for students to transfer credits. They have redefined traditional faculty roles, allowing curriculum design and pedagogy experts to collaborate with subject matter experts to create tailored courses.     Join Us Next Week for Part Two of This Podcast with Dr. Melik Khoury   Read the transcript on our website →     About Our Podcast Guest   Dr. Melik Peter Khoury is the 11th President and CEO of Unity Environmental University headquartered in New Gloucester, Maine.

It's time for another episode about the U.S. Army War College's Distance Education program. COL Heather Smigowski, Chair of the Department of Distance Education (DDE), is back in the studio, and this time she's brought along two joint military and one civilian graduate of the DDE program. Ken Hills, Donna Jenkins and Mark Nibert join Heather and podcast host Ron Granieri for a conversation about their time in the program. The discussion focuses on how to prepare for the two-year program, what surprised each of them about the curriculum, some tips and tricks for success, and where they've seen payoffs since graduation. No surprise, the recurring themes are that time management, discipline, and sacrifice are necessary to take full advantage of the tremendous opportunities distance education offers. And just in case the Army's DDE program doesn't work for you, Ken was contractually obligated as the Vice Commandant of the Global College of Professional Military Education to mention the distance education opportunities the Air Force offers at https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/GCPME/.

Dr. Nicholas Ziegler, World Languages Coordinator at ESU 5, is back on the show this week to give an update on Distance Learning in Nebraska. On the pod, Dr. Ziegler also speaks specifically about the Distance Learning World Languages Program at ESU 5 and the tremendous successes that students are experiencing through those DL courses. Listeners can expect to learn about the content area of World Languages, Distance Education, and how 76 districts across the state are turning to distance learning as an effective avenue for staffing courses when an in-person instructor is not available.

It's time for another episode about the U.S. Army War College's Distance Education program. COL Heather Smigowski, Chair of the Department of Distance Education (DDE), is back in the studio and this time she's brought along two recent grads of the AY21 and AY22 DDE classes. Mark Almond and Dave Paravecchia join Heather and podcast host Ron Granieri to explain what graduating from the distance program has done for them and how it has impacted their careers in the Army. Their conversation focuses on tips and techniques for time management along with the real-time lessons they learned while still working their "day jobs."

In this episode, I focus on digital communities with Katy Kappler. Why do we need them and how can it increase student completion rates in distance education?The potential of technology in education is so great that there is a steady increase in the number of online courses available in higher education every year. Distance education is an effective tool with the capability to enhance learning experiences with the added benefit of flexibility. However, completion rates for online courses are surprisingly low. 40-80% of online learners just give up. How could such an effective education model fail to go the distance to completion and why do college students drop them? Data suggests that motivation, technical issues, and lack of support are the three major reasons.Dr. Hughes M. Brown, et al., identified these concerns in his 2015 study with first semester college students taking distance learning classes. His recommendation was that more needs to be done by institutions to change the "lone wolf" preconception and avoid the "goulash approach" to supporting distance learners. He went on to state that lives of distance learners are not black and white, but rather "complex shades of grey and this needs to be taken in to account when designing appropriate learning experiences and supports to ensure student success."Katy offers insights into how digital communities can be used to create student-centered environments, improve student outcomes, and increase a sense of belonging for online students. She was named one of 144 women CEOs and founders of Leading Global EdTech Startups in March. Katy is the CEO and Co-founder of InScribe, an innovative digital community platform, slated to be one of the world's most promising ed tech startups. To learn more, go to www.inscribeapp.com. The call to action is that distance education is not a "lone wolf" experience. Digital communities create a greater sense of belonging and improve student success. Use them if you have them, get them if you don't. It may be the difference between completing that online course and not.Support the showPlease subscribe and share this podcast with a friend to spread the good!If you find value to this podcast, consider becoming a supporter with a $3 subscription.

Camp Lejeune Command: Commander's Notes 1992-1995 by Kenneth D.

It's time for another episode about the U.S. Army War College's Distance Education program. COL Heather Smigowski, Chair of the Department of Distance Education, is back in the studio to offer a few suggestions to new students who just received their welcome letter to the class of academic year '25 (AY25). Heather joins podcast host Ron Granieri to describe the challenges the members of AY25 will face during their academic journey over the next two years. Whether it's the shock of going back to school, the inevitable surges of reading assignments, or the potential disruptions to "normal" life and family vacations, the next two years will require dedication and concentration. Heather offers tips and techniques for time management and effective study, and also highlights the many resources available to every student in the program.

Guest Dr. Tanya Joosten joins hosts Tom and Kelvin to discuss findings from eight years of research data collected at the National Research Center for Distance Education and Technological Advancement (DETA).

In this episode, I focus on theory as a variable. How can theory affect positive change in education? Here to discuss theory in education is Dr. Michael Grahame Moore. He first defined distance education in his Theory of Transactional Distance in 1972 and then expanded on that in 1997. He was named as “one of the 128 most important, influential, innovative and interesting thinkers on education of all time,” by The Routledge Encyclopedia of Educational Thinkers in 2016. Dr. Moore is internationally recognized for establishing the scholarly study of distance education and for pioneering the practice of teaching online.Theory affects positive change in education because it uses scholarly study and research to describe what we know works. The Theory of Transactional Distance is not new, only the full and sudden emergence of America's classrooms online in 2020. As a nation, we took a huge leap forward teaching from online platforms. While it felt painful because the educational system was not prepared, we still learned a lot and advanced. Now, educational leaders and politicians need to keep the momentum moving forward. COVID was the wake-up call to America that the way we are preparing teachers is outdated.  So here is the call to action: Teachers and parents- advocate for distance education teacher training through your state and district. Online education whether it's pure, blended, hybrid, or hyflex is growing and we need the best education for our children. This is only possible through applying sound theories to teaching methods.Support the showPlease subscribe and share this podcast with a friend to spread the good!If you find value to this podcast, consider becoming a supporter with a $3 subscription.

The U.S. Army War College provides an outstanding strategic-level education to the military and civilian leaders of the DoD and other federal agencies. Each year, roughly 380 U.S. and international students attend the year-long resident course at Carlisle Barracks, PA. But what many people don't realize is that at any given time there are nearly twice that many students enrolled in the distance education program receiving a similar quality education as those in the resident course and ultimately the same degree. Today we have COL Heather Smigowski, Chair of the Department of Distance Education, in the studio to describe the creation of the program and the changes it has undergone to become the present-day effort. Created in 1967 the distance program has evolved over the last five decades into a two-year program that is delivered both synchronously and asynchronously, online and for two weeks each year in-person in Carlisle. All of this is accomplished by board-selected students who navigate the courseware from their present duty (or deployed) location while performing their “day job,” often while serving in command positions. It's a great conversation with podcast editor, Ron Granieri that looks at how the U.S. Army provides educational opportunities to the force around the world.

A few years later her parents moved to Yvetot, where they kept a café and grocery shop in a working-class district of the town. She studied at a private Catholic secondary school in Yvetot, encountering girls from more middle-class backgrounds, and experiencing shame of her working-class parents and milieu for the first time. In 1958, at eighteen, she left home for the summer to look after children in a summer camp (colonie de vacances).During that summer, living for the first time with a group of people of her own age, she had her first sexual experiences, recounted in her recent work Mémoire de fille (A Girl's Story). In this same book, she also writes about her stay in London as an au pair in 1960, and her first attempt at Higher Education which took the form of primary teacher training in Rouen. At the end of the book we see Annie returning to Rouen from London to take a degree in literature, having abandoned her primary school teacher training course. She had also already written the first pages of her first, unpublished novel in London.The years that followed saw her married with two sons, qualifying as a secondary school teacher in two competitive examinations, the Capès and the still more prestigious agrégation, and teaching French in a secondary school in Annecy, Haute Savoie. One of her rare returns to Normandy coincided with her father's final illness and death in 1967. In 1974 Annie Ernaux published her first book, Cleaned Out, a fictionalized account of the illegal abortion she underwent in 1964, and her move from working-class to middle-class culture through education. In 1977 the family moved to Cergy-Pontoise, a new town in the Paris region. Ernaux eventually left secondary school teaching and took up a post at the Cned, Centre for Distance Education. She won both literary acclaim in the form of the Prix Renaudot, and a large readership with the publication of her account of her father's life, A Man's Place in 1983. After her divorce in the early 1980s, Ernaux remained in her house in Cergy, where she lives to this day. In 2000 she retired from her teaching post, and devoted herself to writing, and in 2008 published The Years, considered by many to be her crowning achievement in terms both of its content and innovative form, intertwining personal and collective history over six decades. The success of this work was recognized by the award of the Marguerite Duras and the François Mauriac prizes, and the English translation shortlisted for the Man Booker prize International.Her works overall have received the French language prize and the Marguerite Yourcenar prize, as well as publication of her almost complete works to date in the Quarto edition by Gallimard in 2011 (Ernaux is the first woman writer to be published in this series in her lifetime). In 2014 she was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Cergy-Pontoise. In October 2022, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature “for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory”.From https://www.annie-ernaux.org/biography/. For more information about Annie Ernaux:Simple Passion: https://www.sevenstories.com/books/3493-simple-passion“Nobel Prize in Literature is Awarded to Annie Ernaux”: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/06/books/nobel-prize-literature“Annie Ernaux's Justly Deserved Nobel”: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/annie-ernauxs-justly-deserved-nobel“A Voice in ​​French Literature: Her Own”: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/books/annie-ernaux-a-girls-story.html

In Episode 40, “globetrotters.edu,” Sandy Strick and Karen Edwards at the University of South Carolina, described how they created virtual study abroad trips for their Hospitality and Marketing students.   Initially, they needed an alternative when the pandemic stopped international travel, but they discovered they had created a valuable format to use for learners who couldn't travel for myriad reasons.They got Dan thinking about his own work in global education,  so he challenged himself to rethink his approach and to design a virtual trip as an integral component of the complete global experience. At the end of Episode 40, Dan offered to report on the results, and now this episode is his chance to make good on that promise and tell us what he learned this summer.

And I really admire his incredible ability to not only do the red teaming work that he'll talk about, and how you in in the audience can listen to can find ways to apply this critical thinking, alternative analysis and ways to look at the world through different lenses. 26:22 I try not to overestimate my capabilities, by having respect, and better understanding how that other entity that other organizations, how they, as best I can, how they think, and how they prepare and do actions and stuff like that. 27:26 It's like a QR fo quick reaction force for better thinking, using methods, using analytical techniques to think through a problem set and get better answers is never a bad thing. And empathy, being able to understand to perceive the other person or other organizations, other side's experience of the of the conflict, or another situation is not agreeing with it. 39:04 So I love this quote, I've been capturing your you're taking notes on what you've said. You meant you made a conscious comment about have a better conversation.

By now, practically everyone who has a connection to academia has heard that the traditional audience for higher education is headed for a demographic cliff. In response, colleges and universities are exploring ways to attract an older audience of degree completers and life-long learners to bridge the gap. But who counts as an adult learner, and how do we retain them once we have their attention?School isn't the central hub of a non-traditional student's life; rather, school is one of many spokes on a very full wheel.  To attract and retain this audience of students requires a willingness to stop expecting that, once admitted and formally welcomed, they will adjust to meet the campus status quo.  True inclusiveness means designing and delivering courses, programs, and services that fit into their lives, instead of expecting them to rearrange their lives and schedules to fit the rhythms of a campus they may never visit.But how do we tailor educational offerings so they are not one-size-fits-all?

Preaching for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jackie Minnock, B.Th, M.Phil, offers a reflection on being lamplighters to one another: "We all have a part to play in this journey of faith – in this journey of believing in something greater than self. The process is laid out in today's readings. We are called to be light to others, using the gifts we have been given. We are called to allow others to light the way for us too." Jackie Minnock was born in Dublin Ireland. She contracted Polio when she was a year old and is proud to be known as a Polio Survivor. Jackie now lives about an hour north of Dublin in Co. Louth. She is married to Colm for over 30 years and has two children and one grandchild. She completed her Theology Degree by Distance Education at the Priory Institute Dublin in 2011 and her Masters in Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies at The School of Ecumenics at Trinity College Dublin in 2014. She has written for a number of Theological Journals in Ireland and has also broadcast on Irish National Radio - TE - in their Living Word slot on morning radio. She has also written a number of articles for the Polio Survivor Magazine in Ireland. She is a member of We Are Church Ireland and Root & Branch Lay Led Synod Group and is passionate about reform in the Catholic Church.

It's especially appropriate that we're taking a deeper dive into the topic of virtual field experiences on this Wired Ivy Footnotes episode because as I'm speaking, early in May 2022, Dan is in Europe having just completed a study abroad experience with a group of our students in Finland and Estonia, and he's just started to working with a second group of students in Switzerland and Italy.  As he mentioned in the previous episode, which featured his interview with Karen Edwards and Sandy Strick of University of South Carolina, and Tori Ellenberger of Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, Dan was so anxious to use some of their ideas for virtual study abroad content that he re-wrote his pre-departure lessons immediately following that conversation. He'll report on how that new approach landed with students, and whether he was able to observe any immediate benefits compared to previous trips he's lead, in an upcoming Summer Shorts episode. But before Dan left, he and I made some time to discuss what we see as a few potential long-term opportunities and benefits that could result from continuing to blur the line between in-person and virtual experiential learning.

Educators who are engaged in online teaching are, at some point, going to hear the words "quality matters."  At first mentioned, this seems self-evident. As educators, we understand that the quality of our course design content and delivery is important for learners to have a productive and hopefully optimal learning experience. No one would argue with that. But that is small case quality matters; the myriad initiatives we take upon ourselves to continuously improve outcomes.  There's also capital letter Quality Matters™, which is often abbreviated to the trademarked QM™. This Quality Matters™ refers to a very specific certification process for online and hybrid courses. In this Wired Ivy Office Hours explainer, Dan takes listeners through some of the history, ambitions, and critiques of this standard rubric for online course design.

It's time for Wired Ivy Office Hours!  A quick but deep dive into an online higher ed term or concept to cultivate effective communication and weed out confusion. Prior to 2014, academic institutions in couldn't legally give non-resident students access to their online courses without going through a costly and lengthy case-by-case approval process for their classes and degree programs, and negotiating reciprocity agreements with the states their prospective students called home. That's how a non-profit organization known as NC-SARA got its start, as you'll learn in this quick explainer episode!
