It is founded upon, and contributes to, theories of universal design in education that have been gaining increasingly wide attention in recent years. As greater numbers of students with disabilities attend postsecondary educational institutions, administrators have expressed increased interest in making their programs accessible to all students. This book provides both theoretical and practical guidance for schools as they work to turn this admirable goal into a reality. It addresses a comprehensive range of topics on universal design for higher education institutions, thus making a crucial contribution to the growing body of literature on special education and universal design. This book will be of unique value to university and college administrators, and to special education researchers, practitioners, and activists.

Book excerpt: Online education has been a popular topic at public higher education institutions within the last decade, but its adoption at public higher education institutions has been a challenge. Many teachers view the adoption of new technologies as taking a risk with the way education is delivered, and it can often be an intimidating change (Guri-Rosenblit, 2009). The work and roles of faculty within higher education institutions implementing online education have been reshaped and redefined due to the integration of technology into the academic workplace (Tabata & Johnsrud, 2008). The development of online courses requires high levels of commitment by faculty, which can cause faculty to be reluctant (Hayes & Jamrozik, 2001). For online education be successful, faculty are a critical and core resource to the success of any distance education initiative. It is extremely important for education leaders to understand the roles of faculty are changing with the incorporation on online learning. Currently, there is an effort by higher education leaders, administrators, and politicians to increase student access and retention by incorporating the use of online education. As technology becomes a larger part of our daily lives, so will the impact it has on higher education. Online programs are becoming popular and are slowly moving away from the traditional model of teaching. Thus, this study examined the technological knowledge and skills of full-time faculty and the effectiveness of developing the curriculum for online courses. The study represented a quantitative research design by the use of an electronic questionnaire conducted through SurveyMonkey.com, an Internet-based survey tool. The data were collected through an online questionnaire sent to full-time faculty at the College of Education. A letter of consent including a link to the survey was emailed to 128 full-time faculty members. The sample for this study included 14 full-time faculty members at the College of Education. Findings of this research included whether full-time faculty in the College of Education at a 4-year public institution possessed the technical knowledge and skills to develop online courses and identify if online instruction was appropriate for graduate programs. The researcher identified that a majority of the participants had the technological platform needed to teach online courses; however, participants identified challenges with the development of online curriculum and only a small percentage felt they had the skills needed to develop online courses. The recommendation is to expand the research with other departments and universities since this research was only conducted with one particular department and university. Finally, further research should study how the development of online courses impacts student success.

Book excerpt: Research suggests that more students with disabilities are pursuing higher education than in years past, and recent legislative changes, such as those in the Higher Education Opportunity Act and Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, have the potential to increase the number and diversity of this population. GAO was asked to examine (1) what is known about the population of postsecondary students with disabilities; (2) how postsecondary schools are supporting students with disabilities; (3) what challenges, if any, schools face in supporting these students; and (4) how the Department of Education is assisting schools in supporting these students. To conduct this work, GAO analyzed federal survey and some state data; conducted site visits; interviewed agency officials, disability experts, school officials, and students; and reviewed laws, regulations, and literature. To improve access to quality higher education for students with disabilities, GAO recommends that the Secretary of Education develop and implement a coordinated approach to optimize agency resources and knowledge in providing technical assistance to postsecondary schools in supporting students with disabilities. Education agreed with our recommendation and plans to create a work group to develop and implement a coordinated approach to providing technical assistance. Six appendices are included: (1) Technical Appendix; (2) Data on Students with Disabilities; (3) Postsecondary Schools, Associations, and Experts Interviewed; (4) Postsecondary Schools That Received Education Grants to Support Students with Disabilities in FY 2008; (5) Comments from the Department of Education; and (6) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments.

Download or read book Community College Funding 2008 09 Enrollment Growth Outpaces Resources Issue Brief written by Brian Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California community colleges are expected to provide a broad range of affordable educational opportunities to an increasing number of students, but the current system does not have sufficient funding to serve them all well. This report describes present budgetary sources and explains that colleges receive mostly discretionary funding. With the University of California and California State University systems contemplating significant reductions in 2009-2010 enrollment, more students planning to attain a bachelor's degree are expected to enroll in state community colleges next year, even as state revenues are projected to drop further. State policy makers will face difficult choices as they allocate already-scarce resources and attempt to support the community college system that is one of California's largest and most cost-effective educational institutions.

Download or read book Higher Education Public Good and Markets written by Jandhyala B. G. Tilak and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines some of the major trends in the development of higher education. It demonstrates how in the context of liberalisation, globalisation and marketisation, the crisis in higher education has assumed different dimensions in all advanced and emerging societies. The author shows how the state tends to slowly withdraw from the responsibility of higher education, including in the arena of policy-making, or simply adopts a policy of laissez-faire (of non-involvement) which helps in the rapid unbridled growth of private sector in higher education. The notion of higher education as a public good is under serious contestation in current times. The book argues for the need to resurrect the compelling nature of higher education along with its several implications for public policy and planning, while providing a broad portrayal of global developments, comparative perspectives and key lessons. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of education, political science, public policy and administration, governance, development studies, economics, and those working in the higher education sectors, think-tanks, policymakers as well as NGOs.
