  7. Selective Recovery

  8. Income inequality grows along with the postsecondary skills gap

  9. Why Must Oregon Achieve Goal 2025? • By 2018, 64% of Oregon’s jobs will require postsecondary education. • By 2018, 377,000 of the projected 591,000 job openings will require postsecondary credentials.

  10. WHAT MUST WE DO TO ACHIEVE GOAL 2025? Create 21st Century Colleges for 21st Century Students

  11. To Succeed We Must Focus on College Access and Success

  12. To Succeed We Must Focus On 21st Century Students • Of the 17.6M undergrads now enrolled 75% are juggling work, family, and school

  13. To Succeed We Must Focus on Adults

  14. To Succeed Oregon Must Focus on Adults

  15. To Succeed We Must Achieve Equity

  16. To Succeed Oregon Must Achieve Equity

  17. Closing Equity Gaps is a Demographic Necessity Millions Data for all races exclude Hispanics. Population Division, Population Projections, U.S. Census Bureau. Released 2008.

  18. To Succeed We Must Close Income Gaps Postsecondary Education Opportunity, “Bachelor’s Degree Attainment by Age 24 by Family Income Quartiles, 1970 to 2008.

  19. Yet flagships give about the same amount of aid to higher-income students as they do to low-income students . “Opportunity Adrift,” The Education Trust, 2010.

  20. And We Serve Those Least Who Need Us Most College Board

  21. To Succeed We Must Focus on Learning

  22. WHAT is 21st Century Learning

  23. Physical and mechanical skills are on the decline

  24. Cognitive skills are on the rise

  25. HOW Do We Deliver 21st Century Learning?

  26. A Learning Based System Is NOT • Focused on courses and seat time • Organized around semesters • Reliant on proxies for learning • A “one size fits all” approach

  27. A Learning Based System IS • Outcomes based • Defined by transparent and assessable learning aligned with 21st century needs • Student centric • Open to acceleration • Open to innovative affordable delivery models for customized learning at scale

  28. An Example: The Open Learning Initiative

  29. Provides Goal-Directed Practice and Targeted Feedback

  30. Allows Practice in Synthesizing and Applying Skills & Knowledge

  31. “The Killer App” Feedback Loops for Continuous Improvement

  32. Accelerated Learning Results • OLI students completed a statistics course in half the time with half the number of in-person course meetings • OLI students showed significantly greater learning gains (on the national standard “CAOS” test for statistics knowledge) and similar exam scores • No significant difference between OLI and traditional students in the amount of time spent studying statistics outside of class • No significant difference between OLI and traditional students in follow-up measures given 1+ semesters later M. Lovett, O. Meyer, & C. Thille, C., “The Open Learning Initiative: Measuring the effectiveness of the OLI statistics course in accelerating student learning,” Journal of Interactive Media in Education (2008).

  33. Quotes • Student Quote:“This is so much better than reading a textbook or listening to a lecture! My mind didn’t wander, and I was not bored while doing the lessons. I actually learned something.” • Instructor Quote: “The format [of the accelerated learning study] was among the best teaching experiences I’ve had in my 15 years of teaching statistics.”

  34. Solving the “2 Sigma” problem

  35. We Must Design a 21st System That…. • Defines common transparent learning outcomes aligned with 21st Century demands on our graduates • Provides personalized learning accelerating student success • Increases our capacity to provide millions more 21st Century students high quality credentials
