Revolution in Higher Education
by Richard A. DemilloColleges and universities have become increasingly costly, and, except for a handful of highly selective, elite institutions, unresponsive to twenty-first-century needs. But for the past few years, technology-fueled innovation has begun to transform higher education, introducing new ways to disseminate knowledge and better ways to learn -- all at lower cost. In this impassioned account, Richard DeMillo tells the behind-the-scenes story of these pioneering efforts and offers a roadmap for transforming higher education. Building on his earlier book, Abelard to Apple, DeMillo argues that the current system of higher education is clearly unsustainable. Colleges and universities are in financial crisis. Tuition rises inexorably. Graduates of reputable schools often fail to learn basic skills, and many cannot find suitable jobs. Meanwhile, student-loan default rates have soared while the elite Ivy and near-Ivy schools seem remote and irrelevant. Where are the revolutionaries who can save higher education? DeMillo's heroes are a small band of innovators who are bringing the revolution in technology to colleges and universities. DeMillo chronicles, among other things, the invention of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) by professors at Stanford and MIT; Salman Khan's Khan Academy; the use of technology by struggling historically black colleges and universities to make learning more accessible; and the latest research on learning and the brain. He describes the revolution's goals and the entrenched hierarchical system it aims to overthrow; and he reframes the nature of the contract between society and its universities. The new institutions of a transformed higher education promise to demonstrate not only that education has value but also that it has values -- virtues for the common good.
Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis Student Workbook
by Alyssan BarnesA yearlong course for grades 11-12 The senior thesis is a capstone project, the crowning achievement in a student's academic journey. In completing the thesis, students bring all that they've learned, such as reading, writing, and arguing, to bear on one issue. They learn the background of the topic, analyze other people's arguments, and synthesize their findings and discoveries, putting it all together to form a true, good, and beautiful whole. Through the use of workshops, assignments, and presentation practices, the Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis workbook walks students step-by-step through the process of writing and then delivering a thesis. Students will gradually draft the six parts of the thesis introduction (exordium), statement of facts (narratio), thesis statement (partitio), argument (confirmatio), counterargument (refutatio), and conclusion (peroratio) as they are taken through the thesis process from start to finish, from choosing a topic to crafting a snappy title, and everything in between. Versatile and straightforward, this text can be used by students who are only writing a thesis paper, only delivering a spoken address, or doing both. Additionally, the genius of Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis is that it can be utilized by students using any rhetoric curriculum and even by strong students who have not yet studied rhetoric. Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis is an all-in-one resource journal/scratch pad/research notebook and rough-draft-to-final-copy writing guide that will equip students to create a strong, compelling, and well-crafted senior thesis. The text is spiral bound so that students can easily draft portions of their theses and take notes in the workbook, either in class or at home. What sets Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis apart from other rhetoric texts? -RA Thesis can be used in conjunction with any rhetoric curriculum -RA Thesis uses clear, accessible language -RA Thesis takes students step-by-step through the writing of the thesis, from start to finish -RA Thesis aids students in writing a paper, speech, or both -RA Thesis helps reluctant or struggling writers generate good ideas and organize them well -RA Thesis contains presentation practice and writing workshops in each chapter -RA Thesis supplies tips from former senior thesis students -RA Thesis includes sample student writing and an example of a complete student thesis -RA Thesis brings classical rhetorical theory to bear on a contemporary issue

The Rise and Fall of International Education Exchange: A Resurrection in Retrospect
by Teresa Brawner BevisThis book tells the story of America’s legendary rise in the field of international education exchange, its recent stumble during the pandemic era, and its current resurrection. America brings to its shores more foreign students than any other country, and their presence is the most critical indicator of its exceptional quality of scholarship. Achieving this level of distinction has required public, private, and civic organizations, in league with generations of inspired individuals. Recently there were indications of a fall, mostly attributed to the pandemic, but also to a host of volatile social and geopolitical issues. Unchanged, however, have been the overarching goals of intercultural understanding and world peace. As the field resurrects, some worry that deeper degeneration may still be looming. Others foresee a bright future and predict an aggressive new rise in the field of international education exchange.
