Postsecondary perspectives on digital learning: Session 2

Postsecondary Perspectives on Digital Learning: Insights into the State of Digital in Higher Ed

In this two-part webinar series, we invite you to reflect on the use of instructional technology to support teaching and learning  (“digital learning”) at your institution and compare your views to those of over 1,100 administrators nationwide. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements?  How does that compare to your peers in higher ed?

  • My institution readily embraces all forms of digital learning
  • My institution views digital learning as strategic for achieving our goals
  • My institution generally is an early adopter of new educational technology
  • My institution is achieving an ideal digital learning environment

This series will feature highlights from Tyton Partners’ Fall 2016 survey of over 1,100 administrators across public and private four-year and two-year institutions.

 

Session One | Tuesday 1/24/2017 1PM ET

In the first session, we will share an overview of the study and respondent sample and a snapshot of administrator responses to questions about the state of digital learning at their institutions.  

 

Session Two | Tuesday 1/31/2017 1PM ET

In the second session, we will share segmentation built by a cluster analysis of the administrator responses.

 

All participants in the webinars will receive a copy of the research publication when released in the spring of 2017.
