It’s that time of year again for the inevitable prediction pieces. It takes a brave person to try and divine what’s ahead these days. I was able to convince Kris Astle, Global Education Strategist at SMART Technologies to have a go. As you will hear, she puts together some pretty strong, and positive, outlooks for campuses in the coming months and years.

This episode of Innovations in Education highlights the concerning state of student mental health, which persists even as the pandemic subsides. Statistics from the 2020-2021 school year reveal that over 60 percent of college students met the criteria for at least one mental health problem, while another national survey found that nearly three-quarters reported moderate or severe psychological distress.

Ultimately, the hope is that increased mental health awareness and support will benefit students and society as a whole.…Read More

In this episode of Innovations in Education, Mark McCormack, Senior Director of Research and Insights at EDUCAUSE, breaks down the recently released 2023 Students and Technology Report: Flexibility, Choice, and Equity in the Student Experience and what it says about higher ed’s need for new learning modalities. The report draws on data from EDUCAUSE’s 2023 Student Survey, representing 1,951 students from across 10 U.S. institutions. In this conversation, Mark underscores the importance of flexibility and choice in the student experience and their demands for more personalized, adaptable learning environments.
