Central Michigan University freshmen and seniors are invited to participate in the National Survey of Student Engagement.
NSSE, founded by Indiana University, collects information about student participation, learning and personal development to provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college.
On Feb. 1, Provost Gary Shapiro emailed students asking them to complete the survey, which covers five National Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice; level of academic challenge, active and collaborative learning, student-faculty interactions, enriching educational experiences and supportive campus environment.
Each benchmark measures student engagement and its importance to student learning, collegiate quality and institutional improvement.
OIR Senior Research Associate Ahmed Elgammal is working to raise awareness of the survey and its significance around campus.
“More than 640 institutions nationwide are participating in the survey,” Elgammal said. “Some Canadian institutions and American universities overseas are taking part too.”
He has helped spread advertising around campus, spoke to resident assistants and will continue to remind students of the survey through email.
So far, about 1,000 CMU students have taken the survey, Elgammal said. But CMU wants to see more students respond.
“It’s very important to get students’ feedback and engagement,” Elgammal said. “It helps increase the student-learning experience.”
Students who complete the survey by March 21 will be entered into a drawing for more than 100 prize,s including items such as an iPad 2 or a CMU Bookstore gift card.
In 2009, about 1.1 million students from 640 institutions in the U.S. and Canada were invited to participate in the survey. Of that number, 367,318 students responded. This year NSSE hopes more students get involved.
17-01-2012 12:50 academicpartnerships.com Since long before we were a nation, Americans had a commitment to higher education. Only 16 years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Harvard opened its doors to 9 students. All of our early institutions were characterized by small student enrollments from the elite families of their day. The concept of a broad based, highly educated population began its journey to reality a 150 years ago, when Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act in 1862. The Act called for the establishment of "at least one College in every state upon a sure and perpetual foundation, accessible to all, but especially to the sons of toil". Now, over a century and a half later, a hundred years after the Industrial Revolution in a nation of 315 million people where over half of all new jobs require a college education, the promise of the Morrill Act is more important than ever. The words of Abraham Lincoln when he signed the Act are as relevant today as they were then "The dogmas of the quite past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew." Despite the unprecedented success of America's public university system that is the envy of the world, reduced state and federal funding, a trillion dollars in student loans, tuition soaring out of reach for middle class families, stunning demographic changes and declining preparedness for college-level work, today's ...

24-01-2012 12:10 http://www.academicpartnerships.com For academic administrators at colleges who question how to offset declining revenue, there exists an answer Discover the financial power of the Internet and online classes. For students who question how to reduce the cost of a higher education, there exists an answer: discover online classes. Online college classes, insightfully implemented, can mitigate rising educational costs. Traditional ways of increasing revenue by increasing the number of students on campus and raising tuition create significant downsides: significant outlays for expansion, and increased public sector dissatisfaction. Online college classes engender an upside that offsets the dependency on substantial donations and cost increases for students. Paradoxically, an online university or college can offer a greater number of students a better education at a reduced cost to the students while increasing revenue for the college and holding down outlays of the college, a win-win situation. Fittingly enough, more people are choosing an online college over attendance at a brick and mortar college. Academic administers or students who believe that a campus education is superior to an online education should read the 2010 US Department of Education report "Research on the Effectiveness of Online Learning." The report concluded that there where "significant differences in favor of online learning." For the past 10 years, learning outcomes for students who participate in online ...
